I found this out through trial = and =E2=80=9Cno error=E2=80=9D (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 =E2=80=9Cmaster=E2=80= =9D. I then tested out if I could make changes and push to GitHub from = my remote computer(S). Success! Thank you for your response!
