If you just executed that sequence in the terminal, we can verify exactly where the pipeline stands. Let's run a quick status check to confirm the local ledger locked in and the remote architecture is mapped correctly.
Run this diagnostic snippet:

# 1. Check current branch and tracking status
git status

# 2. Verify the remote Alpha URL is bound cleanly
git remote -v

# 3. Confirm the foundational commit exists in the history
git log --oneline -n 3 2>/dev/null || echo "No commits found yet."

Did the commit lock in locally, or did the terminal prompt you for your GitHub credentials on the push?

1. Link the local repo to your remote Alpha destination

git remote add alpha https://github.com/rickyplambert57

2. Push the payload and set Alpha as the upstream tracking node

git push -u alpha alpha
