Remotes: Push, Pull, Fetch
Part of the Git course
Everything you have done so far lives only on your own machine. That is fine for practicing, but real projects need a shared copy other people, or other machines, can reach: a server holding the same repository so everyone's work ends up in one place. Git calls this a remote: another copy of your repository, usually hosted on a service like GitHub, that your local repository knows how to talk to.
A remote needs two things: a short name you will type constantly, almost always origin, and a URL pointing at where the repository actually lives.
