How to create a branch in a bare repository in Git

Question

I current have a bare repo thats acts as a central repo for my team. The bare repo currently only have a branch \"master\". How can I create more branches on the bare repo?

Answer 1

Usually you don't create branches directly in the bare repository, but you push branches from one work repository to the bare

git push origin myBranch

Update: Worth to mention

Like Paul Pladijs mentioned in the comments with

git push origin localBranchName:remoteBranchName

you push (and create, if not exists) your local branch to the remote with a different branch name, that your local one. And to make it complete with

git push origin :remoteBranchName

you delete a remote branch.
