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.

Just wanted to add that while:

git checkout -b {branchName}

Creates a new branch, it also checks out that branch / makes it your current branch. If, for some reason, all you want to do is snap off a branch but not make it your current branch, then you would use the following command:

git branch {branchName}

In the first command, "checkout" makes said branch your current branch, and the "-b" means: this branch doesn't exist yet, so make it for me.
