I'm having a very challenging issue at the -create a local dir then connect it to a remote Github dir- step of this video. My github account was created pre-2020 so I believe I'm having issues with branches. Basically; when I created the demo-repo2 local directory everything was working fine until I got to the 'git push -u origin main' step. I was getting an error basically saying main was undefined or something along those lines. I tried using 'git push -u origin master' and it successfully pushed it according to CLI. If I check git status it shows no changes available.
HOWEVER - When I go to that repository on github it still shows as an empty repository; the changes are not appearing to push there. I ran 'git branch' from the demo-repo2 folder on my local vscode client and it shows 'master' as the branch. When I do the same from the 'demo-repo' dir I created earlier in the video it shows 'main' as the branch... so I've managed to end up with a main and master branch, and I don't know how to correct this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I finally understand Git after this video. I-ve asked so many questions to friends and watched several -quick- YouTube tutorials and was still confused about Git. Your tutorial was excellent and I-m glad I sat through the whole hour of it. It was completely worth my time. Thanks!

This tutorial isn't good for absolute beginners specially those who are using windows. I ran into lot of errors by exactly following her steps and she tell about generating ssh keys later in the course but they were required earlier.

I found out that another way of creating git branch is to use -checkout name-of-that-branch-, like the --b- is removed. Does anyone here no the difference between these 2 ways ? Do they lead to huge difference later on?
