Now you need to send the code on your computer to GitHub.  The key to this is the URL that GitHub assigns your newly created remote repository.  It will have the form \verb|https://github.com/username/thesis.git|. \verb|https://github.com/username/thesis.git| (this can be found on your repository page under the header "HTTPS clone URL").  Notice that this URL is using the HTTPS protocol, which is the quickest to begin using.  However it requires you to enter your username and password when communicating with GitHub, so you'll want to considering switching to the SSH protocol once you are regularly using Git and GitHub (see \href{https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/}{help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys} for directions).  In order to link the local thesis repository on your computer to the remote repository you just created, in your local repository you need to tell Git the URL of the remote repository using the command \verb|git remote add| (Figure \ref{fig:Fig3}C). 

However, with projects with lots of contributors, GitHub provides a workflow for finer-grained control of the code development.  With the addition of a GitHub account and a few commands for sending and receiving code, you can now share your code with others, transfer your code across multiple machines, and setup simple collaborative workflows.
