HI Andrew, Your assessment and advice was exact. I found this out through trial and “no error” (thank goodness). The discovery came by accident. I installed iTerm2 and had it themed, and again by accident, so that when in a .git folder the terminal indicated “master”. I then tested out if I could make changes and push to GitHub from my remote computer(S). Success! Thank you for your response!

The primary laptop died (grrr); and I want to create a repo on my back up laptop which has access to the shared folder, but no .git file. Also, I’d like to link it to my GitHub account. >> >> Any ideas? > > Where was the .git folder located for this repository?
