REMOTES

• Remotes gives you the possibility to clone a repository which lives online.

• You can also push your changes online.

• Or propose changes with pull (fetch is unclear yet).

• Check your remote:

  $ git remote # this should return 'origin'

  • In order to access a remote you have first to git clone .
  • To initialize a remote in your github account do it using a web browser (I am not sure how to do this in command line).

• Show remote's URL:

  $ git remote -v

• Fetching/Pulling (?):

  $ git fetch origin # shows changes since last fetching the server

  $ git pull # updates your local repository(?) - I use this in orgmode (also propose changes..)

• Push online:

  $ git push origin master # uploads your master branch to the origin
