Pushing Code to GitHub

This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of sharing code with third-party services like GitHub and Heroku. It covers creating a GitHub repository, setting up Git remotes, configuring SSH keys for secure access, and testing the SSH connection. The tutorial concludes with finalizing the GitHub setup and pushing code to the servers, ensuring a backup is always available. The next video will focus on deploying applications to Heroku.

What is the primary purpose of pushing code to GitHub?

• To create a new programming language

• To share code with third-party services

• To compile code into an executable

• To delete local files

What is the first step in creating a new repository on GitHub?

• Deleting old repositories

• Uploading all project files

• Writing a README file

• Clicking the plus icon and selecting 'New repository'

What is a 'remote' in Git terminology?

• A version of your project hosted elsewhere

• A type of database

• A new programming language

• A local backup of your project

What command is used to add a new remote in Git?

• git add remote

• git remote add

• git push origin

• git commit -m

Why is it important to set up SSH keys with GitHub?

• To delete old repositories

• To encrypt your code files

• To create a new branch

• To secure the connection between your local machine and GitHub

What is the purpose of the 'cat' command in setting up SSH keys?

• To encrypt the SSH key

• To create a new SSH key

• To delete the SSH key

• To print the contents of the SSH key file

What should you do if the SSH connection test to GitHub fails?

• Restart your computer

• Delete the repository

• Reconfigure the SSH key settings

• Ignore the error and proceed

What does the 'git push' command do?

• Pulls changes from GitHub

• Creates a new branch

• Pushes local commits to a remote repository

• Deletes the local repository

What is the default branch name in Git?

• Feature

• Develop

• Master

• Main

What is the benefit of having your code backed up on GitHub?

• It allows for code compilation

• It increases code execution speed

• It automatically fixes code errors

• It provides a backup in case of local data loss
