How can I push my changes to a remote branch

Question

I am on a master branch \'master\' and I have 1 commit ahead I want to create a new remote branch called \'new_remote\' and push my commit there?

$ git branc         


        

Answer 1

git push origin localBranchName:master

More generally,

git push remote local_branch_Name:remote_branch_name

Answer 2

I think you just want to push your changes, so:

git push old_remote master

should be enough for you. The first parameter for git push is the remote you want to update (in your case that's old_remote') and the second is the branch you want to push.

Instead of specifying branch with name, you can use --all like this:

git push old_remote --all

Answer 3

If you want to push your master branch into a newbranch on the remote repository called origin then you can run:

git push origin master:newbranch

Answer 4

Although what you are trying is perfectly legal in git, from a general best practice standpoint (when you have many parallel lines of development) I'd suggest to create a local tracking branch and push it to your remote.

git branch --track local_branch remote_branch

Answer 5

If you are currently working on local branch master, and the new remote branch has not been created yet:

git checkout -b new_branch     // creates a local branch (as a copy of the current)

git push origin new_branch // push it to the remote server
