push
The git push command is used to upload local repository content to a remote repository. Pushing is how you transfer commits from your local repository to a remote repository. It's an essential part of collaborating with others, as it allows you to share your changes and integrate changes made by others.
Detailed Explanation
Remote Repositories: A remote repository is a version of your project that is hosted on the internet or another network. It can be accessed by multiple collaborators. The most common remote repository is
origin.Branches: When you push changes, you typically push them to a specific branch in the remote repository. By default, this is the same branch you are currently on.
Tracking Branches: A tracking branch is a local branch that has a direct relationship with a remote branch. When you push changes, Git knows which remote branch to push to.
Authentication: Pushing to a remote repository usually requires authentication. This can be done using SSH keys, HTTPS, or other methods.
