40. Pushing changes

Goals

• Learn how to push changes to the remote repository.

Since bare repositories are usually shared on some sort of network server, it is usually difficult to cd into the repo and pull changes. So we need to push our changes into other repositories.

Let’s start by creating a change to be pushed. Edit the README and commit it:

File: README

This is the Hello World example from the Git tutorial.
(changed in the origin and pushed to shared)

Run

git switch main
git add README
git commit -m "Added shared comment to readme"

Now send changes to the shared repository.

Run

git push shared main

The shared repository is the one receiving changes sent by us. Remember, we added it as a remote repository in the previous lesson?

Result

$ git push shared main
To ../work.git
