I think there's a difference between people who study lightly and score high, and people who grind it out and then score high. I'd guess that the majority of high scorers fall into the latter, while he falls into the former.

"Try adding a remote called "github" instead:
$ git remote add github
https://github.com/Company_Name/repository_name.git
# push master to github
$ git push github master
# Push my-branch to github and set it to track github/my-branch
$ git push -u github my-branch
# Make some existing branch track github instead of origin
$ git branch --set-upstream other-branch github/other-branch"
