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.

I use this and it is pretty handy:

git config --global alias.mkdir '!git checkout -b $1; git status; git push -u origin $1; exit;'

Usage: git mkdir NEW_BRANCH

You don't even need git status; maybe, I just want to make sure everything is going well...

You can have BOTH the LOCAL and REMOTE branch with a single command.
