Pushing Commits

In the previous chapter, we made changes to our repository and committed them. Now, let's push those changes to the remote repository. It would allow your collaborators to view the changes that you have made and would allow them to pull your changes to their local repository.

For the purpose of this course, we are using GitHub as our Git-based service provider, but you can use the same procedure to push your changes to any Git-hosting service provider (like GitLab or BitBucket).

In the Git Repository and Git Cloning chapters, we saw that we have created a repository on GitHub, cloned it and worked on it. To push your changes back to the remote repository, you can use the command git push. Let's try it out:

$ git push

If you navigate to the GitHub repository, you will see that a new commit and a new file has been added to the repository.
