Stage 8 — Push to GitHub

Upload every commit in your local main branch to GitHub in one command.

What You'll Learn

• git push -u origin main
• What the -u flag does (sets upstream tracking)
• How to verify a push worked by reloading the GitHub page

Prerequisites

You finished Stage 7. git remote -v shows origin pointing at your GitHub repo, and the GitHub page still shows an empty repository.

What Changes

No local files change. What changes is GitHub — your four commits appear online.

Outcome

• The GitHub repo page now shows index.html and style.css with the dark theme.
• The "commits" link in the GitHub UI shows all four save points.
• Running git push by itself (no arguments) in the future will push to origin/main, because -u set up tracking.
