Remote first and then local

• you have a remote repo, but nothing local => clone

git clone <remote-url>

git clone https://github.com/dummyrepos/githublearningsep25.git
cd githublearningsep25
git config --list

Conditions

• when we are connected to a remote repository a branch with name <remote-name>/<branch-name> will be created locally which represents the remote
  
• when we are pushing changes the tip of the remote branch and tip of your branch before this change should be same
• When we are getting latest chagnes
  • changes are fetched from remote into <remote/branch> then merged into local branch pull => fetch + merge
• Generally its a good idea to pull changes regularly from remote.
