-  * git init: will prepare local repository by creating the .git directory
+  * git remote add: will add and connect a remote server/repository to our local git. The will be called and references as: "origin"
-  * git switch: will create the main branch and switches the local repo to it.
+  * git push:  will push all committed files to the remote called "origin". "-u" sets the upstream tracking branch, linking your local main branch to origin/main. Once you do this once, future pushes and pulls on that branch can just be: git push; git pull. Instead of needing to specify origin main every time.
-  * git add README.md
+=== Authorization ===
+The "git push -u origin main" command will prompt for a username/password. Use the forgejo main account (default is: **git-admin/git-admin-passwd**).
