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.

Answer 1

First you create the branch locally:

git checkout -b your_branch

And then to create the branch remotely:

git push --set-upstream origin your_branch

Note: This works on the latests versions of git:

$ git --version
git version 2.3.0
