[lettersforword365]

im new to github and wanted to try this.

running ubuntu, installed python via apt and opened terminal inside the main folder containing the python scripts

made an empty repo and typed:
python contribute.py --repository=oneoftheprivategithubemails@noreply.github.com:https://github.com/lettersforword365/testpy.git

am i doing something wrong?

im getting:
