Workshop - GIT

Step 3: Publishing the changes

In this step you will configure the server to which the commited changes will be published.

Files cannot published as files, files are published as commits made.

Your local git repository is not currently configured to work online. In order to publish changes a git remote must be configured.

The command for adding a remote is:

git remote add origin http://github.com/user/repo.git

Note: in our case the “username” is workshop-tests and the repo is username-firstproject, as defined in step 1

To check the newly added remote run:

git remote -v

The remote is configured and commits can be published from now on.

To publish your commited changes run the following command:

git push - to send/publish your changes to the server (if the remote added)

Optionally the remote and branch can be provided

git push origin/master
