Push Changes

git push.What Does Push Do?
git push uploads your local commits to a remote repository. It updates the remote branch to match your local branch.Pushing to a Remote
The basic syntax is:
git push main branch to origin:git push origin mainFirst Push with Upstream
When pushing a branch for the first time, you can set an upstream so that future pushes can be shorter:
git push -u origin main-u flag sets the upstream reference. After that, you can simply run git push from that branch.What If the Remote Has Newer Changes?
If the remote branch has commits that you don’t have locally, Git will reject your push. You need to
git pull first (or git fetch + merge) to integrate those changes, then push again. This prevents you from overwriting others’ work.Push a New Branch
If you create a new local branch and want to share it, push it with:
git push -u origin new-featureTwo Minute Drill
