git push
This command Is most commonly used to publish and upload local changes to a remote central repository. If a local repo is connected to a remote repo, local chanages changes should be reflected on the remote repo by executing a git push and one of it's sub-commands. Doing this allows one team member to share the modifications with other remote team members.
Before you begin, create a remote repo on bitbucket, github, gitlab, or a remote repo of your choice. Be sure that not to create a README file or any other content on the remote repo.

Use the git remote add origin command from your remote repo to connect the local repo to the remote repo. Nothing will change on the remote repo until you perform a git push.
Create/copy the file six_honest_serving_men.txt and populate it with the following text
I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west; But after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. A poem by Rudyard Kipling
Stage and commit the changes.
Verify the branch you are working (it should be main) with the command git branch
Type the command
git push origin main
