Question

Just started to use git and I’m wondering can I use git on my local dev machine without pusing to the github.com account. I want to track source with commiting them but now pushing to the remote.

As far as I know I’m going to have all features since tracking is used with commited files and pushing only send files to the origin (remote server). Is this right ?

Thanks

commit and push are different actions. commit work locally and does not touch the remote repository. If you do not want your local commits pushed, do not run git push until you are confident of your changes.

You might want to create a local branch and work on that. I would recommend you to read “A successful Git branching model” to get some ideas.
