hub: Fetch Git objects from upstream and update local branches.
$ hub sync
try on your machine
The "hub sync" command is used in the context of the Git version control system. It is a command provided by GitHub's "hub" command-line tool, which extends the functionality of regular Git commands.
When you run "hub sync" in your Git repository, it performs two main actions:
- It updates the local repository with any changes that have occurred on the remote repository (in this case, typically a GitHub repository). It fetches the latest commits, branches, and tags from the remote.
- It pushes any local changes you have made to the remote repository, ensuring that your local changes are synchronized with the remote repository.
Basically, "hub sync" is a convenient way to fetch the latest changes from a remote repository and push your local changes to it, ensuring both repositories are up to date.
It's important to note that this command is specific to the hub tool and may not be available in regular Git installations. In regular Git, you would typically achieve the same functionality by using separate "git fetch" and "git push" commands.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
