Step 3

So, now we have a local repository but it's not easily accessible to others and all data can be easily lost with a simple "rm -r".

At some point, we'll use a git repository system, such as GitHub, Azure DevOps, GitLab, BitBucket.

Important

if you create a repository afterwards, make sure it's completely empty otherwise you won't be able to push

Let's assume we created a new repository whose git URL is https://github.com/myusername/my-repo.git.

You can now push your local repository to a central place (called remote):

git remote add origin https://github.com/myusername/my-repo.git

You can look at the remotes:

git remote -v

Now we can push the local branches:

git push -u origin main

You can also pull even if there shouldn't be any changes:

git pull
