This article mainly introduces the relevant knowledge of "how to use origin in git". The editor shows you the operation process through an actual case. The operation method is simple, fast and practical. I hope this article "how to use origin in git" can help you solve the problem.

In git, origin means "remote repository", which is the alias of a remote repository link. When clone hosts a code base on Github, git creates a label that points to the remote code base by default, and origin points to the version of the local code base hosted on Github.

This article operating environment: Windows10 system, Git2.30.0 version, Dell G3 computer.

What does origin mean in git

Your code base (repository) can be stored on your computer, and you can also host the code base on Github's server.

By default, origin points to the version of your local code base hosted on Github.

Let's assume that you first create a Repository on github, called repository, and suppose your Github ID is user1, and the link to your code base is

Https://github.com/user1/repository

If you type in terminal

Git clone https://github.com/user1/repository

Then git will locally copy a code base hosted on github

At this time, you cd to repository.

Then enter

Git remote-v

You will see the console output

Origin https://github.com/user1/repository.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/user1/repository.git (push)

In other words, git creates an origin pointing to the remote code base for you by default (because you came down from this address clone)

And suppose there is a user user2 fork, your repository, then his code base link looks like this.

Https://github.com/user2/repository

If he also follows this clone, and then enter it in his console.

Git remote-v

What he will see is

Origin https://github.com/user2/repository.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/user2/repository.git (push)

The origin that you can see points to the remote code base of user2.

At this time, if user2 wants to add a code base that points to you remotely, he can enter it on the console.

Git remote add upstream https://github.com/user1/repository.git

Then type git remote-v again

The output will become

Origin https://github.com/user2/repository.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/user2/repository.git (push) upstream https://github.com/user1/repository.git (push) upstream https://github.com/user1/repository.git (push)

Added a upstream pointing to the user1 code base, that is, the previous naming of the pointing location.

To sum up, as the name implies, origin is a name. When you clone a code base hosted on Github, git creates a tag that points to that remote code base for you by default.
