Updating an open-source project is very easy. This can be done just fine with the command line. In this example, I am listing the files in a repository.

To actually send changes to the remote repository, use the git commit -all command to commit your code changes.

Then upload all changes to the remote repository. This is very easy to do.

This pushes the changes to the remote repo and updates all code in the main master branch.
