git push

This command publishes your local work to a remote repository so others (or your deployment pipeline) can access the latest commits on the current branch.

This command, when run with no extra arguments, takes the current checked-out branch and sends its new commits to the remote branch tracked by it (usually origin/<branch-name>), using the remote and branch configured in your local Git settings; it effectively tells Git: "take my local branch and update the corresponding branch on the remote". The push subcommand is what performs the upload, and because there are no additional flags or parameters here, Git uses the default remote (commonly origin) and the branch's upstream configuration to decide where to send the commits. If the current branch has no upstream set, Git will suggest a command like git push -u origin <branch-name> so that future plain uses of this command automatically know where to push.

You can adjust this behavior with variations like git push origin (push the current branch to the origin remote), git push origin <branch-name> (explicitly push a specific branch), or git push -u origin <branch-name> (push and set the upstream so future plain uses of this command will target that remote branch by default). Other useful flags include --force or -f to overwrite the remote branch history with your local one (dangerous and should be used only when you understand the impact), and --tags to push all local tags to the remote; combining these you might use git push origin --tags to share tags or git push -f origin <branch-name> to rewrite remote history.

Examples:

• git push origin main
• git push -u origin feature/add-login
