Push to GitHub

This lesson is part of Git · All levels

Summary

Git sends a local commit to GitHub remote so that the team can access it. For the first push of a branch, use the -u option to connect the local branch to the remote (upstream). If the remote has a commit you don't yet have, it'll be rejected and you need to pull first.

Key points

Git -u origin main sends branches and sets upstream
The -u/--set-upstream option makes the next push enough with the git push
Reject when the remote comes first; run the git pull --rebase and then again
Git origin --tags send all the tags to the remote
