1. The Repository Exists Only Locally
   When you create a new repository in Visual Studio, it is usually created as a local repository on your computer. It has not been automatically synchronized (pushed) to GitHub yet.

Solution:

Open Team Explorer or Git Changes: In Visual Studio, open the Git Changes window (usually in the bottom right corner or find it under the View > Git Changes menu).

Synchronize to GitHub:

You should see an option or link that says "Publish" or "Push to Remote".

Click on it and select the option to publish the repository to GitHub (this will usually require you to sign in to GitHub if you haven't already).

Once the process is complete, your repository will appear on GitHub.com.

2. Authentication/Login Error
   Visual Studio could not successfully connect or authenticate with your GitHub account to perform the Push operation.

Solution:

Check Login: Make sure you are signed in to the correct GitHub account within Visual Studio.

In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Options > Git Global Settings > Sign in to GitHub.

Use a Personal Access Token (PAT): If you encounter persistent authentication errors, you may need to use a PAT instead of a regular password, especially if you have two-factor authentication enabled on GitHub:

Create a PAT on GitHub (Settings > Developer Settings > Personal access tokens). Ensure the token has the repo scope.

Use this PAT when Visual Studio prompts you for login credentials.
