为什么git commits存在于我的本地克隆目录中，而不存在于GitHub上？

Question

I have committed and pushed several changes for a project using git on the command line, but when I log in to GitHub, the branches and commits I made are not shown on my account. Why?

I can review all commit history I have made using git on the command line.

Results of git remote -v command

origin  https://github.com/felixtan/guessing-game.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/felixtan/guessing-game.git (push)

Answer 1

Once committed locally, you still need to push those commits to github:

git push

(since your remote is named origin, you don't need to specify its name: it pushes by default to 'origin')

This assumes you are the owner or one of the collaborators of the repo felixtan/guessing-game .

If it is the first time you push your current branch:

git push -u origin yourCurrentBranch

That establish a tracking relationship between your branch and ' origin/yourBranch ', as detailed in " Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch? ".

Once that first push is done, the subsequent pushes are simple ' git push '.

If you are not the owner/collaborator, you won't have the right to push to that repo.

You need to make a fork (See GitHub forking ), and in your local cloned repo you are already working on:

git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin https://YourLogin@github.com/YourLogin/guessing-game.git

That way, you will push to your fork (that you own), and will make pull requests from there (See GitHub pull requests ).
