Okay, I'm learning Git, so bear with me. I'm trying to add my first repository to GitHub, using a command line (Windows PowerShell.)

I did the following, according these directions from a GitHub tutorial:

  1. In your command line, navigate to your project directory. Type git init to initialize the directory as a Git repository.
  2. Type git remote add origin https://github.com/philosofool/github-upload.git
  3. Type git add .
  4. Type git commit -m "initializing repository"
  5. Type git push -u origin master to push the files you have locally to the remote on GitHub. (You may be asked to log in.)

Trying to be a good little learner, Iexit type everything out rather than just copy and paste. After about 40 minutes of trying to figure out why I'm getting a 443 Error I notice a typo: git remote add origin https://githu.com/philosofool/github-upload.git So, yeah, I assume the error is that I typed githu.com not github.com.

Problem: When I re-enter all the stuff I used before, the typo persists. That is typing the git remote add origin with the correct URL doesn't get rid of the error: I'm still getting fatal: unable to access 'https://githu.com/philosofool/github-upload.git/': Failed to connect to githu.com port 443: Timed out with the typo in it. What do I do to start over?
