Setting a remote repository on github
-----------------------------------------
* git remote - view current remotes
* git remote add origin https_repo_url - we can give any name instead of origin,it is the name in repo to refer to repo on github.
* git remote -v - To verify that the repo url was added correctly [v-verbose,provides more info]
* git push origin master - git push is used to push the local repo to github(remote)
  [it takes two arguments - the remote I want to send changes to and name of local branch to push.]
* git pull origin master - git pull is used to pull the changes of the remote repo to the local directory.
* git fetch - fetches the remote commit of the branch to the local copy of the repository .we can then compare the commit made to the
              local repo with the commit made remotely.
        *****************************************************************       
          so git pull origin master = git fetch origin +
                                      git merge master origin/master
        ******************************************************************
* pull request - it is a request(by other user) to merge the contents of their branch into the master.
                

**if we want to make other's push to our repository,then add them to the collaborators section in github.
