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.
This lesson needs a repository to push and a server to push it to. Press Play to create both in this lesson's folder (pressing it again starts over): hello-git with one commit, and server.git, an empty bare repository, one that holds only history and no working files, which is what a server keeps. It stands in for GitHub, so the lesson needs no account ...
