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.

Easiest Solution... Drumm Roll... git version 2.10.1 (Apple Git-78)

1) git checkout -b localBranchNameThatDoesNotExistInRemote

2) Do your changes, and do a git commit 

3) git push origin localBranchNameThatDoesNotExistInRemote --force

N.B. - The branch you just created in your local environment, and the remote non-existing branch where you are trying to push, must have the same name.
