Now that we’ve covered what a remote repository is and why it’s necessary, it’s time to talk about how you can attach one to your local repository. In a nutshell, a remote repository is where you upload your locally stored changes so that others can access them.
#Git add remote github code
This means that your code usually lives in multiple places - in your local Git repository, in the remote one living on the server (GitHub is the most well known server), and in the file system of anybody else who has downloaded your work from the remote repository into a local repository of their own. Then, when somebody pulls from that remote repository, they receive your changes and end up with the same code you have. Every time you run the `git push` command, you push your latest changes into that remote repository. A remote repository is a Git repository that lives on a server and is set up to be a mirror of your local work.
This is where remote repositories, or remotes, come in. The tradeoff is that your code isn’t easily accessible to others, so you need to regularly upload your changes to a server in order for other people to access them.
#Git add remote github update
This meant that everybody always had access to the same data, because they were all working from the same server, but changes were slow to update and relied on a stable internet connection at all times.īecause all work stored in a Git repository lives in your local file system, source control operations are blazing fast and don’t require an internet connection, since you don’t upload each change to a server as it happens.
Those tools were known as centralized version control systems ( SVN or Subversion are the most well known examples), and they only operated on data hosted on a server by uploading changes in real time. This is different from many of the source control tools that preceded Git. In fact, Git is referred to as a distributed version control system because the source code is stored, or distributed, locally across any number of computers and servers. To understand what a remote repository is, it’s important to first understand that Git stores and operates on your data in your local file system. This error is usually caused by misunderstanding one of several things: what a remote repository is, how the `remote` command works, or more specifically what “origin” part of these commands means. To help you avoid making this mistake again, let’s unpack the concept of remote repositories a little. It’s possible to inadvertently configure your local repository wrong if you don’t totally get what the commands that you’re running mean, or if you cloned a repository that already has a remote with the name “origin” configured.
