This error occur because you may not have write access to this remote repo. Let's move on, when you run git pull or git fetch with our newly created github repo you may see following error: It is always recommended to perform git pull operation before you push any changes to remote server to avoid any incoming conflicts with code. They will be merged together with git pull. Git pull will first fetch all the remote changes to local git repo and performs merge operation which means if you and other developer work on the same file and both made some changes. Git fetch will only fetch all the remote changes to local git repo. What is the difference between git pull and git fetch? Let's run following command to get all the data from remote git: We need to use fetch command to get all new changes from remote git repo. We are at beginners level so at this moment dont worry about branches and what are they we will learn them as we move on.įor now, just think that you have only one branch called master where you need to push your local git changes.
When we created a new remote git repo by default it creates a master branch. Our task is to move our local git changes to remote git repo. We have our local git repo with some files. Now, that we have a remote git repo and we know that it is empty. We can fetch new changes from remote repo Now, we can do following tasks with remote repo: Now, out local git repository is aware of remote repo.
# above command will output something like (push) Git remote add origin check the status of remote repo # add remote git repo url to local git repo Let's go to our local git repo and run commands one by one shown in above screen shot: So that you can push your local git changes to remote git repo. Let's make our local git repo to be aware of our newly created remote git repo. We want to add that local git repo to our newly created git remote repo. In our previous tutorial, we created a local git repostitory. Next, it will create a new blank repo and will take you to the following screen. You will now see a screen shown below where you need to put repostory name, description (optional), select public or private and hit Create Repository button: Click on + icon located on top right corner to create a new remote git repo as shown in image below:Ĭlick on New Repository menu item. If you want to play with github create a new account using following link: In this tutorial I will use github as a remote server to manage my remote git repository. Think about this way if you only have a local git repo and what if something went wrong with your computer? What if you want other developers to work on the same project? You can push your local file changes to server Multiple developers can work remotely on same repo A benefit of having a remote git repo are followings: We committed file changes to our local git repoĪ remote git repository is nothing but a space in a remote computer which allow us to manage our project.
We added some files to our local git repo
GIT ADD REMOTE. HOW TO
We could simply execute git push and git will do the magic.In our previous tutorial, we learned how to work with local git repository. Now, we don’t need to set upstream for every new branch manually. This config is supported starting from git version 2.37.0Įxecute following command once: git config -global -add -bool toSetupRemote true However if you are like me, who finds executing an additional command annoying, then the good news is git has introduced a new config toSetupRemote to automatically set the remote. There is no harm in executing an additional command for every new branch. Something like: git push -set-upstream origin To be able to push our new branch with git push we had to execute git push -set-upstream. Git will give the following error: The current branch has no upstream branch. Every time we create a new local branch and execute git push for the first time, we will not be able to push without setting the upstream remote.
To push a local branch to a remote Github repository git requires setting a remote.
