How to Push Code on a GitHub Branch?

Pushing code to a GitHub branch involves updating the remote repository with your local changes. Here's how to do it:

1. Stage Your Changes

• Open your terminal or command prompt.

• Navigate to your project directory.

• Use the git add command to stage the files you want to push:

  git add . 

  This command stages all changes in your working directory. You can also stage specific files by replacing . with the file names.

2. Commit Your Changes

• Use the git commit command to create a snapshot of your staged changes:

  git commit -m "Your commit message"

  Replace "Your commit message" with a clear and concise description of your changes.

3. Push to the Remote Branch

• Use the git push command to upload your local commit to the remote branch:

  git push origin <branch-name>

  Replace <branch-name> with the name of the branch you want to push to. For example, if you're working on a feature branch called feature-branch, you would use:

  git push origin feature-branch

  This command pushes your changes to the feature-branch on the remote repository.

Example

Let's say you're working on a new feature in a project called "my-project". You've made some changes to the code, and you want to push them to a branch called "feature-x".

Here's how you would do it:

1. Stage your changes:

   git add .

2. Commit your changes:

   git commit -m "Added new feature X"

3. Push to the remote branch:

   git push origin feature-x

Now, your changes are uploaded to the feature-x branch on the remote repository.

Note: If you are pushing to a branch that doesn't exist on the remote repository, you will need to create it first. You can do this by using the git push -u origin <branch-name> command.
