This tutorial explains how to use the git remote add origin command to connect a local project or repository to a service like GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

Git will now push your commit to GitHub’s servers. In your web browser, head over to GitHub; the README file should now be appearing in your remote repository.

The GitHub CLI, unlike Git, can use your account login and password for authentication with the added bonus of then also allowing Git to push to your GitHub repositories.
