Project Initiator – Upload Local Repository to Remote Repository (git push)
To share your project files through Git Remote Repositories, you need to upload your project directory. Push is an action used to upload your project directory or code from your Local Repository to a Remote Repository. git push is the command for uploading codes. When you run the command, you need to specify a Remote Repository name and a branch name that you want to upload.
For a simple Git operation, you'll frequently use the git push origin master command. origin is the default Remote Repository name. master is the default branch name. Unless you created another branch, master is the only branch in the repository.
Note: More details about the push command will be provided on this topic page Upload to Remote Repository – Git Push.
We have an integrated practice section later in this chapter to cover creating a new repository, uploading project documents, and inviting a project member to the repository. Go to Project Initiator – Grant Remote Repository Access to Project Members for the practice.
