I'm reading the note about push-outs, and there's this proposition:
What is that universal property of Z that the author's talking about? I have no idea what it is so the rest of the proof doesn't make sense to me.

Given a diagram $$ \require{AMScd} \begin{CD} A @>{f}>> Y\\ @V{g}VV \\ X, \end{CD} $$ a push-out is an object $Z$ together with morphisms $F\colon X\to Z$ and $G\colon Y\to Z$ such that the diagram $$ \begin{CD} A @>{f}>> Y\\ @V{g}VV @VV{G}V\\ X @>{F}>> Z \end{CD} $$ commutes and the following universal property is satisfied:
