The "git remote add" command is used in Git to add a remote repository to your local repository. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
-
"git remote add": This is the base command telling Git that you want to add a remote repository.
-
"${remote_name}": This is a placeholder for the name you want to give to the remote repository. The remote name is used as a reference to identify the remote repository in future Git commands. You can choose any name you prefer, such as "origin", "upstream", or any other meaningful name.
-
"${remote_url}": This is a placeholder for the URL of the remote repository. The URL is the address where the remote repository is hosted, such as a remote server or a web-based repository hosting service like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
By using the "git remote add" command with the appropriate remote name and URL, you are creating a connection between your local repository and the remote repository. This allows you to interact with the remote repository, such as fetching or pushing changes to it.
