What is Push?

Uploading your local commits to a remote repository like GitHub

Why It Matters

Pushing shares your changes with your team and backs up your work

Real-World Example

Pushing your commits to GitHub so teammates can see and review your changes

“Understanding terms like Push matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”

Callum Holt, Founder, 13Labs
