The -u in git push -u origin main is a shorthand option for --set-upstream.

When you use git push -u origin main for the first time for a local branch, it does two things:

Pushes your local main branch to the remote repository named origin. If a main branch doesn't exist on the remote yet, Git will create it.
Sets up a tracking connection (upstream) between your local main branch and the remote origin/main branch. This means that Git now remembers that your local main branch is associated with the main branch on the origin remote.

Why is this tracking connection useful?

Once the upstream is set, you can use simpler Git commands in the future:

# Version 1: Full WxH specification
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=640:360 output_640x360.mp4

# Version 2: Width only, adjust height automatically
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=640:-1 output_640xauto.mp4

# Version 3: Height only, adjust width automatically
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=-1:360 output_auto_x360.mp4

Q. Finally! After many retries, you finally get it; Next time I want to ask you to output in a similar way, so that it goes across lines, what language should I use, so you can grasp the concept?

A. You can ask me to format the text in markdown, and you can mention that you'd like it in code blocks to ensure it's structured clearly across lines.

You can say something like, "Can you format this using markdown in code blocks?" This helps me understand that you want the text structured neatly, like I did earlier.

Here's an example of how you could phrase it:
