Remotes and pushing
A remote names another copy of a repository, often on GitHub. Pushing shares committed history; it does not automatically make unfinished work safe.
Learning objectives
- Inspect a remote
- Push a branch deliberately
Connect a local repository to a shared GitHub repository. Focus on explaining each decision in your own words before relying on a pattern or shortcut.
Example
git remote -v
git push -u origin feat/course-catalogSummary
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A remote is a named repository location.
- Pushes share commits, not every local file.
