Put Your Code in the Cloud

So far, everything we've done has been local - on your own machine. It's perfectly fine for personal projects, but most of the time you'll want to share your code with others, back it up somewhere safe, or work across multiple computers. This is where remote repositories come in.

A remote repository is a copy of your project hosted on a server. In this course, we'll use GitLab, but the concepts and commands work the same way with GitHub, Bitbucket, or any other Git hosting platform.
