Well I finally got git and github to work for me - frustrated out of my gourd! It took me three different YouTube videos and a LOT of messing around!

Wondering if I should add the blow-by-blow?

Some key things with my workflow so far was to first create the new repository on github first without specifying a README.md, License, or description. This is all before my initial commit from my command line.

Then realized I had to have a Github generated token as they don't accept passwords anymore! And that my login was my email not the name of my github - Duh!

So now I have initial public respositories for: minlex and dlx repository at https://github.com/RichardGoodrich

JUST WORN OUT figuring this stuff out!
