How to push your local code to a new GitHub repo:

  1. Create a repo on GitHub.
  2. When you create a new repo you will get the below steps in your screen, with the correct repo name. (below is my repo name)
echo "# AndroidComposeAdMobSDK" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin git@github.com:AndreSand/AndroidComposeAdMobSDK.git
git push -u origin main

Second commit:

git add * -f
git commit -m "first commit"
git push -u origin main

$git remote remove origin

2. Add new repo origin :
