Creating a remote repository reference

git remote add remote-name remote-repository-location


Using git remote add command allows us to associate a remote repository. Normally, you

(GitHub). By convention, the first or primary remote repository is named origin.

List Git's Remotes

git remote -v
The git remote command lists the names of all the remote repositories and the -v parameter
(verbose) will display the full URL of the remote repository for each remote name listed

Send Changes to Remote

git push -u remote-name branch-name


git push remote-name branch-name
The git push sends all your local changes (commits) on branch branch-name to the remote
named remote-name. The -u parameter is needed the first time you push a branch to the
remote.

Receive Changes from Remote

git pull remote-name branch-name


The git pull receives all your remote changes (commits) from the remote named remote-
name and on branch branch-name.
