PART 4 of my Git Tutorial Series... (More videos to come in the future)

This is the FOURTH video in a series of videos on Git, the third video can be found here:

In this particular video (Part 4) I explain about (arguably) one of the most important parts of git. That is it's ability to upload changes to a "online" (remote / cloud) repository somewhere in order for others to take down that code and work on it together. Multiple people working on a single codebase / project. Not only does it enable this multi-user experience but having a remote repository where your code is centrally stored away from your own machine is useful when it comes to having a backup of the code. Incase something bad happens and the machine you were working on is lost, you have a backup of the code in the cloud.

I show you 2 new very useful commands that are REMOTE and PUSH. These enable your repository to know about a git server (a remote repository) somewhere and of-course can "push" (upload) your code to it, respectively.

We pick up from where we left off after episode 3 in the git series and I go to Github to quickly setup an example remote repository. Speaking of Github, I talk briefly about these 3rd party online git repository providers, others include: Bitbucket, Gitlab, Source-Forge. Most of these are totally free and give you a easy to use git remote repository out-of-the-box and ready to use and, depending on which one your choose, enables other people from around the world to see and contribute to your codebase. But I will cover these remote repository website options in another dedicated video as there is lots to talk about on that front and these 3rd party providers do things slightly differently to one another.

After I set up a remote repository for the project (which you can find at this public url: https://github.com/Kardelio/git_series) I connect it up to our existing repository following and explaining the commands provided by Github (which are 'git remote add' and 'git push') and once my local repo on my machine is connected to the repo repository that is set up I upload the code using the push command and show you the code on the Github website afterwards.

Here are the commands learnt in this video:
git log --oneline
git remote
git remote -v
git remote add [remote-nickname] [url]
git push [remote] [branch]
git push -u [remote] [branch]
git push [remote] [branch] --force (DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS)
