Create a branch

Changing branch

Merging changes from one branch into main

Remote Repositories

Before you ca use remote repository(repo) you need to have created it on the remote system

We will use GitHub for this purpose, other remote repositories that use Git are also valid

Create a remote repo

1. Head to http://github.com
2. If you do not have an account, create a github account
3. Create a new repo making sure that:
   • Do not add a README.md
   • Do not add a License
   • Do not add a .gitignore
   • In other words: Do not add anything to the blank repo

Connecting a remote repo

git remote add origin https://github.com/bijit85/git-command-help.git

origin = alias for the remote

Pushing commits to remote

git push -u origin main

Cloning a repo

git clone https://github.com/bijit85/git-command-help.git
