How to commit to remote git repository

Question

I am new to git.
I have done a clone of remote repo as follows

git clone https://[email protected]/repo.git

then I did

git checkout master

made some changes and committed these changes to my local repository like below..

git add .

git commit -m "my changes"

Now I have to push these changes to the remote repository.
I am not sure what to do.

Would I do a merge of my repo to remote ?
what steps do I need to take ?

I have git bash and git gui.

Please advise.

Answer 1

All You have to do is git push origin master, where origin is the default name (alias) of Your remote repository and master is the remote branch You want to push Your changes to.

Answer 2

You just need to make sure you have the rights to push to the remote repository and do

git push origin master

or simply

git push

Answer 3

git push

or

git push server_name master

should do the trick, after you have made a commit to your local repository.
