Git Commands - VishalPatangay/My-devops-repo GitHub Wiki

A remote is a Git repository where team members collaborate (like a repository on GitHub). git remote -v - lists all the remotes that a user has. Output: origin https://github.com/username/mslearn-tailspin-spacegame-web.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/username/mslearn-tailspin-spacegame-web.git (push)

Origin specifies your repository on GitHub. When you fork code from another repository, it's common to name the original remote (the one you forked from) as upstream.

Run this git remote add command to create a remote named upstream that points to the Microsoft repository: git remote add upstream https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mslearn-tailspin-spacegame-web.git

git remote -v output: this will list the new forked repository you have just added. Note that the last one only have a fetch permission for you and no push as the origin. origin https://github.com/username/mslearn-tailspin-spacegame-web.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/username/mslearn-tailspin-spacegame-web.git (push) upstream https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mslearn-tailspin-spacegame-web.git (fetch)
