basic question about push

I am just starting to learn git. I would like to start by using git to work
remotely. My work computer and home computer both run Linux. I can log into my
work computer from home, but not vice versa. For several years, I have been
using ssh (with X forwarding) to login to my work computer from home. I have
been basically using my home computer as an X terminal. I would like to start
actually working locally on my home computer and use git to stay sync'd with my
work computer.

I created a git repository on my work machine, and I cloned it on my home
machine. As a test, I edited a file on my home machine and pushed it to my work
machine. I guess I don't understand how to use push. I got this:

What does this mean in English? And what is the correct way to transfer my
revisions from my home computer to my work computer? Thanks.
