Simulating Collaboration

As we have already discussed, one of the primary purposes of remote repositories is collaboration. Let's simulate a scenario where our colleague commits a change to our remote repository.

Then, follow the instructions in the video below to upload this file to your remote repository directly.

So, our imaginary colleague has just made a commit to the remote repository. Let's start by examining what the git remote show origin command tells us about our repository:

This command reveals that our local branch is out of date, indicating that there are new commits in the repository that we haven't yet incorporated locally.

Git does not automatically synchronize local and remote branches; it requires explicit commands to transfer data when we decide it's necessary.

Everything was clear?
