I would like to add an updated answer - now I have been using git for a while, I find that I am often using the following commands to do any pushing (using the original question as the example):

• git push origin amd_qlp_tester - push to the branch located in the remote called origin on remote-branch called amd_qlp_tester.
• git push -u origin amd_qlp_tester - same as last one, but sets the upstream linking the local branch to the remote branch so that next time you can just use git push/pull if not already linked (only need to do it once).
• git push - Once you have set the upstream you can just use this shorter version.

Note -u option is the short version of --set-upstream - they are the same.
