Push and verify

Back it up with one sentence, then prove it landed.

With the handshake done, getting your project to the cloud is (you can guess by now) one sentence:

Create a private GitHub repository called my-first-app and push all my checkpoints to it.

(Private means only you can see it; public means anyone can. For a first project it genuinely doesn't matter, and you can flip it later in the repo settings.)

Verify it landed

Trust, but verify: open github.com, click your repository, and you should see your project files with your checkpoint message at the top. Nothing there? Tell the agent “the push didn't land, figure out what happened and fix it.” Diagnosing its own failed push is, again, its job.

The upgraded habit

From now on, the checkpoint sentence grows two words: “commit and push.” Same reflex, but every save point now exists in two places, your laptop and the cloud. New laptop someday? Your whole history downloads in a minute. And in the next section, that same push starts doing something even better: publishing your site.
