Git Pull and Push: How to Keep Code Synchronized with Remote Repository

Git Pull and Push are core operations for synchronizing code between the local and remote repositories. Pull is used to fetch remote updates, while Push is used to share local modifications. Pull: The command is `git pull [remote repository name] [branch name]` (default remote is origin and branch is main), e.g., `git pull origin main`. Before execution, confirm the correct branch. If there are no updates, it will prompt "Already up to date". If there are updates, the local code will be automatically merged. Push: After completing local modifications, first stage the changes with `git add .` and commit with `git commit -m "description"`, then push using `git push [remote repository name] [branch name]`. For the first push, add the `-u` option to associate the branch (e.g., `git push -u origin main`); subsequent pushes can use `git push` directly. Key Tips: Pull before pushing to avoid conflicts. When conflicts occur, manually modify the conflicting files, then stage with `git add .` and commit before pushing again. Use `git status` to check the status before pushing. Pull updates the local repository, and Push shares your changes. Developing the habit of Pulling before Pushing can reduce conflicts and improve collaboration efficiency.
