  3. Record a revisionCommit
  4. Send to shared archivePush

A saved file may be uncommitted, and a commit may remain local. Pushing synchronizes history; it is not deployment or a database backup.

Where this term is useful

These are related contexts, not prerequisites.

Back in the project

When it comes up: When versioning, synchronizing, merging, or restoring code.

What to do next: Include only the intended task changes and record matching checks.

What can this analogy leave out?

Saving, committing, pushing, and deploying differ; Git does not automatically back up databases.

Everyday examples explain roles and relationships; actual behavior follows the tool, language, or platform.

Often confused with

Save, commit, push, and deploy

Writing files, recording history, syncing a repository, and deploying are four different actions.
