Simulating Collaboration

Simulating Collaboration

As we have already discussed, one of the primary purposes of remote repositories is collaboration. Let's simulate a scenario where our colleague commits a change to our remote repository.

To demonstrate this, we will use the GitHub interface. First, download a TXT file:

Then, follow the instructions in the video below to upload this file to your remote repository directly.

So, our imaginary colleague has just made a commit to the remote repository. Let's start by examining what the git remote show origin command tells us about our repository:

This command reveals that our local branch is out of date, indicating that there are new commits in the repository that we haven't yet incorporated locally.
