Trying to set up my website via GitHub pages. Having a hard time with Git on the terminal

Anyone know why this happens? I delete my original repo and created a new one. I also deleted the folder in finder and created a new folder and did "git init" that folder via the terminal but when I do "git pull" I get this error.

fatal: No remote repository specified. Please, specify either a URL or a remote name from which new revisions should be fetched

Also if I do "git branch add-index.html" I get this error

fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'.

I am so confused

Hi there, I don't know if you have seen these courses; these will definitely guide you to accomplish what you want to do.

  1. Git Basics AND Introduction to Git.
  2. GitHub Basics.
  3. Hosting a Website with Github pages.

In the #3 you will find the answer to your question, how to create a repository on Github, how to link it to your local development via Git and which new brand you need to create to host your page on the Github platform.
