Setup Git Remote

Once you have forked and created your own version of the ABI repository, you need to establish a Git remote. This will enable you to push and pull to and from the original ABI repository. Doing so will allow you to update your project with the latest changes, or contribute back to the open-source project.

Execute the following commands in your terminal:

# Access your repo
cd "your_directory_name"

# Add  remote
git remote add abi https://github.com/jupyter-naas/abi.git

# Push to main branch
git push abi main

# Pull from main branch
git pull abi main

About Git default remote

When you clone a git repository from Github or any other provider, it will always create a default remote for you, named, origin. You might already have asked yourself what this origin was. It's your default git remote.

This means that, assuming you are on the main branch, executing git push is the same as git push origin main.

So by default will just use:

  • The branch you are actually on
  • The origin remote. Even if other exists, it will always use origin by default.
