after this step is where I am having issues. I cannot get it to go through, extremely confused.

"git push -u origin main" it asks me to put in a username and password of GitHub which is correct but still doesn't work.

Ive tried personal tokens, following videos on YouTube, searching stack overflow and inputting different code

    And the error message you got? And the commands you run are? If you give no information, how do you expect to be helped? Pretty sure the reason is that you should use a personal token instead of your account password.

Support for password authentication was removed so I would recommend you to reinstall git with the latest version and then use git bash for your work
Configure user and email settings on git bash via commands

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "Your Email"

Configure your remote using command

git remote add origin "remote url or ssh"

and while pushing your code use same command

git push -u origin main

At this moment you will be prompted to GUI where you have to log in to your github account and then it might resolve the issue.
