Sharing Changes

Remotes​

Git allows you to easily share your changes with other people and collaborate on a project. To facilitate this, Git allows you to communicate with a remote, that is, a server that holds a copy of changes in your repository.

There are many third party services that can act as a remote and host your repository, for example:

These services are not endorsed by Victor Tran and come with terms of service that you must comply with if you decide to use them.

Sharing your repository​

Each branch on your repository can be shared to a remote by pushing it to the remote. Pushing a branch uploads the latest commits and points the remote branch to the same commit as the local branch.

Once a branch is pushed, the uploaded commits can be downloaded by pulling. Pulling a branch downloads all the commits on the remote branch and adds them to your local branch.
