Depending on who you ask the important thing is secure a good continuous
mechanical connection through the circuit. Being in the garage check to see
because some codes require a GFCI circuit in the garage area. You can wrap
take a bare copper (ground) wire and run to the ground connection, of the
outlet, then secure it to the remaining wire runs with a lug nut or most
just pull enough wire out of the outlet and loop the connections or cut it
and make your splices there. The important thing, again, is maintaining the
integrity of the ground through your outlets. Make sure that your HOT
(Black) wire goes into the proper position on the receptacle and maintain
that throughout each outlet or you risk electrocution. Each outlet has a
HOT side and a Neutral side but sounds like you already have that down.

I'm wiring up some outlets in my garage. I have a receptacle, wire going in
the box, wire coming out and going to the next box. The receptacle is a
standard receptacls, and has two screws for the neutral wire, two screws for
the hot wire, but only one screw for the ground wire. I hook the hot and
neutral wires to the respective screws, works fine.What is the correct way
to wire up the ground wire? Can I put both of them on the same screw? It
seems to be secure, but it is it the correct way to do this?
