    git pushis a command that uploads the changes made in your work environment to a work branch of yours and/or your remote team. Commit identifies the changes made in said work environment. If you don't make one pushof your changes, they will never be reflected in your remote repository.

    At the job level, git pushit works at the repository level, that is, with your remote repository, while it git commitworks on your local repository.

    EDIT

    When you use the command git statusand previously committed without having done git push(without having applied the changes in your remote repository) you can verify the files that you locally modified. This is what I meant by "identifying" a commit.

  2. To supplement possible answers, I quote an image in a question on the English StackOverFlow .

    In very basic terms push sends the changes to your remote repository, while commit does it to the local repository.

  3. git pushpush changes to the central repository, commonly called origin, so that other developers can download your changes.
