-### The `helloworld` Program
+### Leo & `helloworld`
+
+If we try to deploy right now, deployment will fail because `helloworld` has already been deployed before. It's as simple as changing the program name, but let's use Leo to create and build an entirely new program.
+
+```bash
+leo new helloworld_[randomsuffix]
+cd helloworld_[randomsuffix]
+```
+
+After you've generated your new `helloworld` project, you can delete the original `helloworld` folder.
+
+You'll notice the React App now errors out. Navigate to the home directory of your React application and open `App.jsx`. Change the folder name on line 5 from `helloworld` to the name of your new Leo project to get rid of the error:
+
+```bash
+import helloworld_program from "../helloworld_[randomsuffix]/build/main.aleo?raw";
+```
+
+Let's dig in a little more. Navigate back to your Leo project and Add your private key to the `.env` in your new Aleo project. Replace the example private key with the one you saved above.
+
+```bash
+NETWORK=testnet3
+PRIVATE_KEY=APrivateKey1zkp2FCZZ7ucNVx5hoofizpq18mvCZNKTpqKMTt1wTahmxSf
+```
+
+Once you've done this, within the root of your new Leo project, you can locally execute your Leo program while developing it:
+
+```bash
+leo run  ## compiles leo to aleo instructions and executes program functions with input variables
+
+leo execute  ## compiles leo to aleo instructions, executes a program with input variables, synthesizes the program circuit, and generates proving and verifying keys
 
-Since `helloworld` has already been deployed before, let’s change the name of your helloworld program by adding a suffix. You’ll want to change the code `helloworld.aleo` to `helloworld_[randomsuffix].aleo` in four files:
+leo help  ## you know what this does
+```
 
-1. `helloworld/src/main.leo` 
-2. `helloworld/src/program.json` 
-3. `helloworld/build/main.leo`
-4. `helloworld/build/program.json`
+You can try it yourself and observe the outputs in the terminal.
 
-You won’t have to do this when actually developing a Leo program - source files compile to the build in the Leo language, but for now, let’s just change the names to move forward.
+```bash
+leo run main
+leo execute main
+```
+
+Let's get back to deploying!
 
 When you deploy a program, the record that you requested from the faucet is the one that will be used in order to pay for deployment. Looking in `App.jsx`, the web worker is called in order to start the deployment. Following that to `src/workers/worker.js` we see that the WASM is initalized, which allows for computation to run efficiently in the browser, and that the program manager contains methods for authoring, deploying, and interacting with Aleo programs.

+Making it through this tutorial was no easy task, so because you've done it, we'd love to honor you with a Leo contributor badge on Github!
+
+### Pushing your Leo Application to Github
+
+1. Let's get to your project's directory, initialize, and commit your application.
+
+```bash
+cd aleo-project
+git init -b main
+git add .
+git commit -m "first commit, new aleo app"
+```
+
+2. Create a new repository on your [github.com](https://github.com/new) account by hitting "new repository" in the top right. Set the repo to public, and don't worry about adding a README, license, or .gitignore files. You can add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub. 
+
+3. At the top of the page your new repository, click to copy the remote repository URL and go back to your terminal to link your local project to this repository.
+

 ## Recap & Additional Resources
 
 1. We packaged a React template for you with Leo.

+2. You also installed [Leo](https://developer.aleo.org/leo/), our statically-typed programming language built for writing private applications. Using Leo, you can write, build, compile, and execute Leo programs locally.
 
-3. We provided the Leo program `helloworld` already pre-compiled into Aleo instructions and then executed locally using WASM + web workers which was an abstraction on snarkVM’s capabilities. [snarkVM](https://developer.aleo.org/aleo/) is the data execution layer. It is used to compile Leo programs and execute them locally off-chain. All Leo programs eventually become Aleo instructions via Aleo’s compiler during the execution phase of snarkVM.

 4. Similarly, we deployed the `helloworld` program, again using the WASM + web workers abstraction layer but you can also deploy programs on-chain using [snarkOS](https://developer.aleo.org/testnet/getting_started/deploy_execute/#deploy), the data availability layer or blockchain / distributed ledger.
 
 5. During the tutorial you navigated to [aleo.tools](https://aleo.tools), which is the graphical interface to our SDK, which serves as an abstraction layer of snarkOS and snarkVM. You’ll find you can perform similar actions (compiling, executing, deploying) on aleo.tools. 
 
-6. The entire React template along with the WASM and web workers can also be considered an abstraction layer of snarkOS and snarkVM.
