The actions for the commands ‘commit’ and ‘push’ were always confusing to me. ‘commit’ will take a snapshot to your local branch. But then, you have to “push” it to the remote branch. I understand what it’s doing, but the choice of words seem wrong. It sounds like “push” has a lower importance than “commit”. But because “push” will sync your local changes with the master remote system, then this obviously has more importance. Instead, I think they (Linus) should have used something like “snap” for snapshot, to take a snapshot of your local changes. Then “commit” would be used to push your local changes out to the remote server or repository.
