Instructions

1. Check your repo status.

   You need to be ahead of your remote repo by at least 1 commit (otherwise, there's nothing to push):

   On branch main
   Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit.
       (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
   
   nothing to commit, working tree clean
   

2. push your changes:

   $ git push
   

   Your latest commits will be synced with the remote repo:

   Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done.
   Delta compression using up to 4 threads
   Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
   Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 449 bytes | 449.00 KiB/s, done.
