----
If creating a new repo:

1. Create a new repo on github -> no readme, nothing at all.
2. Create a project on local machine.  (laravel new anything)
3. cd anything
4. git init
5. git add all
6. git commit -m "first commit"
7. git branch -M main
8. git remote add origin https://github.com/Bazsmagister/[your_repo_name].git //change repo name
9. git push -u origin main   
// the above is the same as this:  git push origin main ; git branch --set-upstream main origin/main

Technically, the -u flag adds a tracking reference to the upstream server you are pushing to.
What is important here is that this lets you do a git pull without supplying any more arguments. 
For example, once you do a 
git push -u origin master 
you can later call git pull and git will know that you actually meant 
git pull origin master
Otherwise, you'd have to type in the whole command.
