Push commits to a remote repo

Dev Life

In the course of an average professional project, a developer should be regularly:

• pulling new code recently contributed by team members;
• pushing committed code to a remote repository (preferably daily).

Prerequisits

• Local repo linked to a remote repo

Pushing commits to a remote repo

1. In team projects (or if you work on multiple machines), you will need to pull recent updates from the remote repo before Git will allow you to push.

    $ git pull
   

If you are working alone on one machine, you can usually skip this step.

1. When you are ready, you can push your changes from your local repo to a remote repo using (assuming these repos are already linked) with the following command:

    $ git push
