Publishing the Repository to GitHub
Finally, we arrive at the repository info screen. At the top of the window, we see the currently open repository. In this case, it is the repository we created in the last step. After the current repository, the current branch is listed. When a new repository is made, there is only one branch, main. After the current branch, there is an action to publish the repository to GitHub.
