Git Push to My Work - Shell/Bash

If you are a programmer, you are probably familiar with Git, a popular version control system that allows you to keep track of changes made to your codebase. One of the most important commands in Git is "git push", which sends your changes to a remote repository.

In this guide, we will explain how to use "git push" in Shell/Bash to push your changes to a remote repository.

Prerequisites

Before you can push your changes to a remote repository, you must:

• Have a Git repository set up locally.
• Have a remote repository set up on a Git hosting service (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).
• Have permission to push to the remote repository.

Steps

1. First, make sure you are in the root directory of your local repository in Shell/Bash.

2. Use the "git status" command to check the status of your changes:

$ git status

This will show you any changes that have been made to your local repository.

3. Use the "git add" command to stage your changes for the next commit:

$ git add .

This will stage all changes made to your local repository.

4. Use the "git commit" command to commit your changes:

$ git commit -m "Description of your changes"

Replace "Description of your changes" with a brief description of the changes you made.

5. Use the "git push" command to push your changes to the remote repository:

$ git push <remote> <branch>

Replace with the name of the remote repository (e.g., origin) and with the name of the branch you want to push to (e.g., master).

6. Enter your Git hosting service credentials when prompted.

7. If successful, you should see a message indicating that your changes have been pushed to the remote repository.

Conclusion

"git push" is a crucial command for any programmer using Git. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can push your changes to a remote repository using Shell/Bash. Remember to always make sure you are in the root directory of your local repository before attempting to push your changes.
