    2. "Push" = The action of uniting your individual commits with the data on GitHub. In a way, you "save" your commits in the cloud and synchronize your work with the data on GitHub.
    3. "Pull" = The action of synchronizing ("downloading") the data on Github with what is on your computer. You should start your work always with a "pull" if you are doing collaborative projects.
