Pushing Changes

Push changes to your fork GitHub

Now that you have made the commit, let’s check using git status (if you haven’t already)

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

nothing to commit, working tree clean

To push the commit to your fork on GitHub we’ll use

$ git push origin HEAD

This tells git to push to your forked repo origin (which we can check by running git remote -v) using the current HEAD which will be at the commit you just made.

The output will be something like:
