If it was, it will be on the local network share, and the repo should be intact. Install git is on the backup laptop and try to access the repo like normal. If the .git folder was not stored there, or for some other reason has not been synced to the network share, it may be lost. In that case you will have lost the history of your repo, but not the latest workstate that was checked out. There are lots of guides on how to upload your repository to github - here is one, many more can be easily found by searching: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-push-a-new-project-to-github/ If your existing repository is still intact you can start from the 'adding a remote' step. Hope that helps! Andrew Ardill
