i can't push my code to github. i have an existing repo and some code on github and its newer version on pc and i would like to push code from pc to github but my visual studio disconnected from my repo. When I was looking for solutions, I only found guides on how to create a new repository or how to download them from github. Thanks in advance for your help
I tried to look for a solution in the team explorer tab but there is only information that the repository functions have been moved
The mechanism that git uses to connect your local repository with a remote repository is called git remote.
You can view the existing configuration by running
git remote -v
For github specifically you want the configuration to be on form
origin git@github.com:username/reponame.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:username/reponame.git (push)
for ssh key authenticated access, and not
origin https://github.com/username/reponame (fetch)
origin https://github.com/username/reponame (push)
Could perhaps this be the reason you are unable to push?
You can have multiple remote entries. You are even able to add repos that do not share a common history. In that case the commits from the "other" repo is not direcly reachable but you are fully able to cherry-pick those (assuming the same file(s) are modified), and you can create branches on that can be rebased onto your main repo.
