# The Pusher

> **[INCOMING — Mission Control, Earth]**
>
> Cadet, your commits live only on your machine until you *push* them
> somewhere shared. That's how teams work.
>
> When your script runs, you'll find:
>
> - `local-repo/` — a working repo with two commits already, identity set
> - `remote.git/` — an empty bare repo (your shared destination)
>
> Two commands:
>
> - `git remote add <name> <path>` — register a remote and give it a
>   short name (by convention, `origin`)
> - `git push -u <remote> <branch>` — send your branch's commits to that
>   remote (`-u` sets it as default for next time)
>
> Wire `local-repo` to `remote.git` and push.
>
> [END TRANSMISSION]

## Your Task

In `starter/starter.sh`:

1. `cd local-repo`
2. Add `../remote.git` as a remote named `origin`
3. Push `main` to `origin` with `-u`

## Objectives

- `local-repo` has a remote `origin` configured
- `remote.git` has the same commits on `main` as `local-repo`
