How do you create a remote Git branch?

Question

I created a local branch which I want to \'push\' upstream. There is a similar question here on Stack Overflow on how to track a newly created remote branch.

Answer 1

If you want to create a branch from the current branch

git checkout -b {your_local_branch_name} 

you want a branch from a remote branch, you can try

git checkout -b {your_local_branch_name} origin/

If you are done with changes you can add the file.

git add -A or git add 

Then do a commit locally

git commit -m 'your commit message'

When you want to push to remote repo

git push -u origin 

All together will be

git checkout -b bug_fixes 

or If you want to create a branch from a remote branch say development

git checkout -b bug_fixes origin/development

You can push to the branch to remote repo by

git push -u origin bug_fixes

Anytime you want to update your branch from any other branch say master.

git pull origin master.
