Create a remote branch in Git
David Y.
—The Problem
How do I push a newly created branch in my local Git repository to a remote?
The Solution
We can do this by adding the -u/--set-upstream flag to our git push command:
git push -u origin new-branch
This command will create a new branch named new-branch in the remote repository at origin and associate it with the new-branch branch in our local repository. This association means that any further commits added to the branch can be pushed with a simple git push.
