6.3 Connecting Local and Remote Repositories

You can link an existing local Git repository to a remote service like GitHub, GitLab, or Codeberg.

Connecting a Local Repository

1. Create a remote repository on your hosting platform.

2. Copy its URL.

3. Link and push your local repo:

   git remote add origin https://example.com/username/my-first-repo.git
   git branch -M main
   git push -u origin main

Pulling Updates from Remote

git pull origin main

Regularly pull updates to stay in sync with your teammates.
