#login to your local instance and clone the remote repository (will ask for your GitHub credentials) git clone https://github.com/CloudAffaire/mygit.git && cd mygit #check remote repository git remote -v #add your user name and email to git config git config --local user.name "Debjeet" && \ git config --local user.email "debjeet@cloudaffaire.com" #create a file and commit in local repository echo "hello from local_master" > local_master git add local_master && git commit -m "added in local repo master branch" #check git log git log --oneline #push the change in remote repository (will ask for your github credentials) git push #check git log (HEAD -> master, origin/master) git log --oneline |
Create a file and commit in remote repository
file name: remote_master
file content: “hello from remote_master”
commit message: “added in remote repo master branch”

#pull the changes in local repo git pull #check git log ((HEAD -> master, origin/master) git log #check local repo working tree (file remote_master has been pulled) ls #create a branch in local repo git branch local_slave #switch to slave branch git checkout local_slave #create a file in local local_slave branch and commit echo "hello from local_slave" > local_slave git add local_slave && git commit -m "added in local repo slave branch" #push the branch in remote repository (will ask for your github credentials) git push --set-upstream origin local_slave |
In remote repository, one branch named local_slave has been created due to above push.
In remote repo create another branch remote_slave
Create a file in remote remote_slave branch and commit
file name: remote_slave
file content: “hello from remote_slave”
commit message: “added in remote repo slave branch”
