git-push: Send changes from a specific local branch to its remote counterpart, and set the remote one as the default push/pull target of the local one.

$ git push -u ${remote_name} ${local_branch}

try on your machine

This git command, git push -u ${remote_name} ${local_branch}, is used to push the changes from the local branch to a remote repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

git push: This is the command used to push changes to a remote repository.
-u ${remote_name}: The -u flag is used to set the upstream branch (also known as the tracking branch). ${remote_name} is the name of the remote repository to which the changes will be pushed. The upstream branch allows you to easily push changes to the same remote branch by just running git push without specifying the remote and branch names in subsequent pushes.
${local_branch}: This is the name of the local branch from which the changes are being pushed.

When you run this command, Git will send the commits and changes made in the ${local_branch} to the corresponding branch in the ${remote_name} repository. If the branch doesn't exist in the remote repository, it will be created. The -u flag is used to set the upstream branch, so future pushes to the same branch can be made with just git push command.
