2. Go to your local librehat directory

If you’ve already cloned it:

cd path/to/librehat

3. Remove the existing remote (if any)

git remote remove origin

(If it gives an error, it likely means no remote was set yet — that’s fine.)

---

4. Add your GitHub repo as the new remote

git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME.git

Replace:

• YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub username

• YOUR_REPO_NAME with the repo name you just created

Example:

git remote add origin https://github.com/johndoe/librehat.git

5. Push the repo to your GitHub

If it’s your first push, use:

git push -u origin master

Or if the branch is main, use:

git push -u origin main

---

✅ Done!

Now your cloned librehat repo is live on your GitHub.
