It’s worth mentioning here that your local branch has to be called my-great-feature for this to work. If the my-great-feature branch already exists up on your remote, it just creates the link between it and your local branch. This creates a branch on your remote called my-great-feature and links it to your currently checked out local branch via the -u flag. The flag to set an upstream branch is -set-upstream-to that’s a lot to type! Luckily there’s a shorthand: git push -u origin my-great-feature Pushing and pulling with an upstreamĮvery now and again, if I know I’ll be pushing and pulling a fair bit over the life of a feature (or setting up a ‘forever’ branch like develop or staging), setting an ‘upstream’ makes things quicker. Commit the changes using the git commit command: git commit -m 'A descriptive message about the changes you've made' After committing your changes locally, you need to push them to the remote repository on. That means I’m generally happy to write those longer commands when pushing and pulling. Stage the changes using the git add command: Add a specific file git add filename Or add all changes in the repository git add.
I tend to push my work up to the remote when it’s ready for PR (Pull Request), so my feature branches don’t typically live all that long once they’re on the remote repo. If you’re working with someone else, or have been working on the same branch from two separate machines, you can pull changes down like this: git pull origin my-great-feature To push more changes up there, just repeat the command. If a branch called my-great-feature doesn’t already exist up there, that command will create one with that name, based on your local branch. So if you’re checked out on a branch called my-great-feature you can push a branch of the same name to the remote like this: git push origin my-great-feature
For example, origin or upstream are two common choices. The git remote set-url command takes two arguments: An existing remote name. Pushing and pulling without an upstreamīy default, you can push and pull changes from any branch on your remote to the local branch you’re currently sitting on. The git remote add command takes two arguments: A remote name, for example, origin. What that means is you match a branch on your local development environment to a branch on the remote repository (repo), up in GitHub, GitLab or wherever. There’s no such thing as syncing in Git, but setting an upstream branch is about as close as it gets.
