I don't understand the steps in 4: "Create a Github repository and initialize it and add it as a remote in your local git repository.

Now, create a remote GitHub repository with your app name and go back initialize this"

What is a Github repository? I know that part. But I don't know how to "initialize it" or "add it as a remote in my local git repository". I can't get past that part. Please advise, someone!
