The code above executes actions locally, meaning you still haven’t done anything on GitHub yet. To connect your local repository to your GitHub account, you will need to set a remote for your repo and push your commits to it: 
-	$ git remote add origin git@github.com:octocat/Hello-World.gitSets the origin for the Hello-World repo
-	$ git push origin masterSends your commit to GitHub
+	$ git remote add origin git@github.com:username/Hello-World.gitSets the origin for the Hello-World repo
+	$ git push origin masterSends your commit to GitHub
Now if you look at your repository on GitHub, you will see your README has been added to it. -- cgit v1.3.1
