I’m a complete noob when it comes to version control, but I recently started using GitHub to host some of my projects. I blindly use the command git push origin master to push changes to either of the two repositories. I don’t understand how Git knows which repository to push to. I use the same command to push to each. Does the directory I’m in have anything to do with it?
Thanks for clearing this up for me.
Git repositories contain a
.gitdirectory that contains metadata about the repository. That’s what Git uses to determine where to push your changes.
