git-push: Send changes from a specific local branch to a specific remote branch.
$ git push ${remote_name} ${local_branch}:${remote_branch}
try on your machine

This command is used to push changes from a local branch to a remote branch in a Git repository.

Here is how it breaks down:

  • git push is the command used to push changes from the local repository to a remote repository.
  • ${remote_name} represents the name of the remote repository. It could be something like "origin" which is the default name for the remote repository.
  • ${local_branch} indicates the name of the local branch that you want to push to the remote repository.
  • : (colon) is used as a separator between the local branch and the remote branch.
  • ${remote_branch} signifies the name of the remote branch where you want to push the changes. This can be the same name as the local branch or a different branch name.

To put it together, this command tells Git to push the commits and changes made in the local branch (${local_branch}) to the corresponding remote branch (${remote_branch}) in the specified remote repository (${remote_name}).

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
