git - What does GitHub for Windows' "sync" do?

Question

With GitHub for Windows, you can "publish" a branch, and then "sync" that branch to GitHub.

Is the sync basically a git pull and git push? Or is there more to it? If I wanted to do the exact same steps as "sync" from the command line, what should I do?

(It's not Open Source, or I'd just read that.)

Answer 1

Sync does git pull --rebase and then if there are local changes, it does git push.
