title: How to create a remote repository on GitHub that has the same name as local repository
body: <p>I am just getting used to GitHub from the instructions I got as a beginner, and got stuck at the step below. I am wondering how to get the name of the local repo to be able to create remote repo with same name. So far, I have run: a) git init b) git add readme, c)git commit -m "first". In my directory, I see a .git directory, but don't know the name of the local repo.Thank you.</p>
