push origin

By my understanding if you push some files to your repo but you don't specify the repo it defaults to origin, right?

git push origin master

So if I wanted to specify one I'd use

git remote add this_is_my_repo_name https://github.com/username/reponame.git
git push this_is_my_repo_name master

I've been practising more with Git and just want to be sure I've got this right :)

Yeah! looks good. You can always check your remotes with git remote -v

Awesome thanks I'll look at that next :)

I got myself lost in my first repo earlier on. I couldn't believe how much clearer everything was by simply making a new test repo. :-)
