Git: How to push from "no branch" to a new remote branch?

Question

I did:

git co upstream/master  # To no branch.
<then did a trivial edit on some file...>
git commit -a -m "Trivial edit"
git push origin NewBranch

But got this:

$ git push origin ignore-netbeans-config
error: src refspec ignore-netbeans-config does not match any.

Can I push to a new branch without creating a local one?

Answer 1

try

git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/ignore-netbeans-config
