About pushing changes to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}
When you push changes, you send the committed changes in your local repository to the remote repository on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. If you change your project locally and want other people to have access to the changes, you must push the changes to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
Before pushing changes, you should update your local branch to include any commits that have been added to the remote repository. If someone has made commits on the remote that are not on your local branch, {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %} will prompt you to fetch the new commits before pushing your changes to avoid merge conflicts. For more information, see "Syncing your branch."
