So today, I finally moved from just “knowing” Git commands to actually using Git push and Git pull in VS Code like a pro (or at least trying). Trust me, Git Push & Pull feels less like coding and more like life advice.
Hook Joke:
“Git push is like sending a risky WhatsApp message to your crush , and Git pull is like checking if she replied back or left you on seen .”
(Translation for my non-desi friends: seen = no reply, just heartbreak )
🖥️ What I Did Today
Wrote some text in VS Code → saved it as version 1.
Changed the file → pushed it to GitHub as version 2.
Repeated this a couple of times till I felt like a DJ remixing my own code .
This gave me hands-on practice in:
git push command example → sending my changes to GitHub.
git pull command example → bringing the latest changes from GitHub to my local machine.
🔑 Understanding Git Push & Pull
1️⃣ Git Push Example
Think of your local repo = your kitchen .
Think of GitHub repo = your restaurant menu .
Whatever you cook (new code), you push it to GitHub so the world sees it.
Command:
git push origin main
👉 This sends your local changes to GitHub’s main branch.
👉 In interview prep, if someone asks “How do you upload code to GitHub?” → This is the command you need.
2️⃣ Git Pull Example
Imagine your friend added a new dish to the restaurant menu 🥘.
To taste it in your kitchen, you pull the changes from GitHub to VS Code.
Command:
git pull origin main
👉 This updates your local repo with the latest changes from GitHub.
👉 In interview revision, remember: Pull before you Push (avoids conflicts).
🎭 Real-Life Analogy
Git Push = Upload selfie to Instagram.
Git Pull = Refresh Instagram feed to see others’ selfies.
Simple, right? Except here, no filters, just pure code 📸.
⚡ My Learnings (Takeaway)
Git push vs pull is the backbone of collaboration.
Practicing with version 1 → version 2 in VS Code Git workflow made me realize how Git keeps a clean timeline of my progress.
Every push & pull = one step closer to not messing up in real projects .
✅ Git Revision Notes for Interview
git push origin branch_name → Send code to GitHub.
git pull origin branch_name → Get latest code from GitHub.
Always pull before you push (otherwise conflicts = war ⚔️).
Interview Tip: Git push vs pull is a very common question — be ready with examples.
🏁 Final Thoughts
Today felt like leveling up from “Git theory” to “Git reality.”
From now on, every time I push, I’ll remember it’s just like sliding into DMs — might work, might get rejected, but hey, at least I tried .
