Yep, I can see that repository, complete with a .gitignore and a
README.md.

That must be a left-over from some previous iteration that failed.

This says that you *already* added a remote with "git remote add".
However, the URL is wrong: there is no repository called Hello-World on
https://github.com/ad1054/.

Probably at this stage, the easiest will be to clone your own repository.
This will create a local clone of the repository which is connected to the
remote repository via the nick name "origin".

The local clone consists of the working directory (which is called
"Postcards" if you cloned as I mentioned above) and the local repository
which lives in the .git/ subdirectory of the working directory. Do not
change anything manually in that .git/ subdirectory until you have a
profound understanding of Git!

If you have a Mac, why don't you use GitHub for Mac?

If you have Windows, why not use GitHub for Windows?
