git push#

Now that we have a repository to work with, let's make a simple change and push it to GitHub.

I changed the contents of README.md to:

1
2
3
# Welcome

To our repository. It's a bit basic, but it'll get better over time :-)

Then I used git commit -am to commit that change to the staging area.

1
2
3
$ git commit -am 'the README needed attention'
[main abe936c] the README needed attention
 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

And then I used git push to literally push the changes to the remote repository:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
$ git push

And we're done. We've successfully pushed a change to a remote Git repository hosted on GitHub.
