Can't see remote branch

Question

I\'m stil learning git and not sure how some basic things work. I created a local branch by doing:

git branch AppStore

I can\'t remember exactl

Answer 1

You need to publish your branch on your upstream repo, while tracking it locally (making sure your local branch keep in synch with that new remote branch: see "What is a tracking branch")

git push --set-upstream origin AppStore

As mentioned in the comments, the other developers need to fetch what has been pushed (included the new branch).
A git fetch origin is one way, but if you are unsure of the name of the remote repo, a git remote update works just fine.

That will update their remote branches, but won't create a local branch of the same name, as detailed in "Track all remote git branches as local branches".

Answer 2

When you do a git branch xyz it creates a branch xyz on your local machine. Generally you create a new branch off the master branch so that it has the master's code. After creating the branch xyz, you make changes and then you have to git push origin xyz for the branch to be visible on github.

Doing git branch -a will show your branches in your machine. Till you push your branch you cannot find it on the remote repo.
