The scenario is that I have no repos on the remote server, just an account. Then, I run locally the following commands, where x is the user name and y is the project name that only exists on my local system.
git init
git remote add buckety https://x@bitbucket.org/x/y.git
git add .
git commit --message "Here we go..."
git push buckety
Now I get the error urging me to set up the remote upstream. I can do that (either --set-upstream or -u) but according to my googlearching, it's been deprecated. (Actually weird that the suggestion in the console mentions it still.)
I want to do it the proper way and I've goolearched both --track and --set-upstream-to. However, there's no example for my particular scenario on Git as far I could see and the operations I've tested failed with errors.
How should I create the remote branch without retracting to using the deprecated option? I might want to create a tracking branch on remote so that:
- the local branch A corresponds to the remote branch A, but also
- the local branch A corresponds to the remote branch B.
Preferably, I'd like to configure it prior to the push but I'm not sure how. I can't use checkout because the branch doesn't exist yet. I can't use set-upstream-to for the same reason.
The right command is:
git push -u origin master
Then the next git push will be a simple: git push.
See "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"
Since Git 1.8, --set-upstream is called --set-upstream-to
You can setup a remote tracking branch in advance with:
git branch -u origin/master master
(Then your first git push would have been a simple git push)
That is how i push to gerrit instance without adding remote
git push http://localhost:8080/scm *:*
fatal: remote error: Git repository not found
But the project must exist already
