Combine remote and push to do the first upload.
The First Push Workflow
To share your local Git repository on GitHub, first create a remote connection with git remote add. Then send your commits and configure the upstream relationship using git push -u origin main.
git remote add origin https://github.com/ayse/ilk-projem.git
git push -u origin mainAfter these operations, your local main branch tracks the remote origin/main branch. You can use git push for subsequent commits.
Practice Make Your First GitHub Upload
First, add https://github.com/ayse/ilk-projem.git as a remote repository named origin. Then push the local main branch and establish its upstream connection using the -u option.
