Get it off your laptop

This cannot live on one person's machine. Push the code. Leave secrets at home.

git init
git add .
git commit -m "auth, /me, prisma, ses"
gh repo create club-portal-backend --public --source=. --remote=origin --push

Public. A private repo makes git clone on EC2 ask for a GitHub username. GitHub will not even say "not found." That prompt is confusing — make it public for class.

Neon URL is a password. .env stays off GitHub.

Your push to main does update EC2 once Actions is green (next slides). If DNS fails, curl with --resolve.
