Pulling and pushing

Next, we need to update our local repository so it knows the address of the remote repository:

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/d4nyll/hobnob.git$ git push -u origin master

Don't use https://github.com/d4nyll/hobnob.git; create your own remote repository instead. If you get a fatal: Authentication failed for https://github.com/d4nyll/hobnob.git/ error, check that your GitHub username and password are entered properly. If you use two-factor authentication (2FA) on your GitHub account, you need to use an SSH key to push to the remote repository.
