The instructions are correct in using git pull for this case. Step 3 uses the GitHub CLI to create the repository on GitHub, and then git pull is used to pull origin/main into main and set up the remote tracking branch.

There's another section on that page that explains how to create a repository locally and push it up to GitHub. It uses git push as expected:

Excellent explanation, @rcowsill ! You need to git pull to get the changes from the GitHub repository that you created (if you added any files like a gitignore during repo creation). The following step instructs you to do a git push.

@asklittlkat I'm going to close this PR, but I'd love to see more contributions from you in the future ✨
