Push changes to a remote repository

Push changes that you make to a remote repository to back up the project to a location other than your local computer and provide version control for the project. Changes pushed to the remote repository are available to others who work on the project.
When there are changes to push, the message "Local changes are available to push" appears in the status bar and the
Push to remote
 icon displays a blue number with the number of commits to push.
IMPORTANT: When you push changes to the remote repository, the project must be synchronized or you will be prompted to pull from the remote repository and resolve conflicts. When there are changes to pull, the message "Local and remote changes available to push and pull" appears in the status bar and 
Pull from remote
 displays a blue number with the number of commits to pull.
