bookUploading Changes to GitHub

When you finish making changes to your project, you want to share those updates with others. In Git, the command that sends your latest work to GitHub is called a push. Think of it as uploading new photos to your online albumβ€”once you push, everyone can see your most recent changes.

# Push your latest commits to GitHub
git push

Here’s what happens when you push your changes:

  • Git takes all your new commits since the last push;
  • It sends them to your project’s repository on GitHub;
  • Your online project is now up to date, so you and others see the latest version.

Keeping your online album updated is important. If you only save changes on your computer, nobody else can see them. By pushing, you make sure your work is safely stored and visible on GitHub.

# Make a new commit and push it to GitHub
git add hello.txt
git commit -m "Add a friendly greeting"
git push
