The repository URL should be the URL you copied from Github. If you have multiple remotes, you will want to rename the remote according to where they are from (like Github, Heroku, and Bitbucket). The default name for most remotes will be origin. To add the remote, click on the select box and select add remote. We need to add the remote we just created. In this case, our branch will be master (because we only have one branch). Once you click on the push button, Fork will ask you to select a branch and a remote to push to. It looks like an arrow that goes upwards. Next, open the project in Fork and click the Push button. SSH lets you push (put things into the remote repository) and pull (copy the remote back to your local) without entering your Github username and password every time. You’re going to learn how to do that in a few lessons.įor now, we want to link up our local repository in Fork to the remote repository we just created. This knowledge requires you to use the Git command line. Once you click on create repository, you’ll come to a page with some Git instructions.

They let you create private repositories for free. If you want to create private repositories, you might want to consider Bitbucket or Gitlab. A private repository is a Git repository that can only be read by you and the people you give permission. Sometimes you may want to create private repositories. (Note: open source projects can also be hosted on Bitbucket and Gitlab as well). This is also why most open source projects are hosted on Github. Many people like to use Github because Github is the most popular one out of the three. The only differences between the services are their popularity, web interface, and pricing. There are no differences between these three services where Git itself is concerned. If your computer crashes, you can always get the latest version from the remote back onto your computer.īefore we talk about Git remotes, we have to talk about different services that provide you with Git remotes. In Git terminology, we call the Git repository on your computer a local repository.Ī Git remote is the same repository stored somewhere else on the internet.
