You can t push into other people s repositories  This is because push permanently gets code into their repository  which is not cool   What you should do  is to ask them to pull from your repository  This is done in GitHub by going to the other repository and sending a  pull request    There is a very informative article on the GitHub s help itself  https   help github com articles using-pull-requests    To interact with your own repository  you have the following commands  I suggest you start reading on Git a bit more for these instructions  lots of materials online    To add new files to the repository or add changed files to staged area     git add  lt files gt    To commit them     git commit   To commit unstaged but changed files     git commit -a   To push to a repository  say origin      git push origin   To push only one of your branches  say master      git push origin master   To fetch the contents of another repository  say origin      git fetch origin   To fetch only one of the branches  say master      git fetch origin master   To merge a branch with the current branch  say other branch      git merge other branch   Note that origin master is the name of the branch you fetched in the previous step from origin  Therefore  updating your master branch from origin is done by     git fetch origin master   git merge origin master   You can read about all of these commands in their manual pages  either on your linux or online   or follow the GitHub helps    https   help github com articles create-a-repo for commit and push https   help github com articles fork-a-repo for fetch and merge
