Hi,

You're looking for this:

git remote add origin https://github.com/alysonla/portfolio.git

This is basically telling git to add a remote repository located at (your URL), and call it origin. That way, once you're ready to start pushing your code to Github, you use a syntax like 'git push origin master'. (Master here is the master, or main, branch of your local git repository).

Hope that helps!
