I cloned the centeral repository via
hg clone my_project my_project_1 then after switching to a newly created repo I marked as a new branch
hg branch v1 While inside the new clone I issued
hg ci -m "branch created" but when I tried to push the changes back to the original repository I cloned from I got this error:
abort: push creates new remote branches: v1! How do I push the branch into the original repository? Am I doing the right thing by trying to push the branch into the original repo? I just want to have a centralized repository which would contain branches and from which I would be able to check out branches. What's the best way to deal with this problem? Thank you.

Push a new Git branch to a remote repo Clone the remote Git repo locally. Create a new branch with the branch, switch or checkout commands. Perform a git push with the –set-upstream option to set the remote repo for the new branch. Continue to perform Git commits locally on the new branch.
In some cases, you may want to push your changes to another branch on the remote repository. In order to push your branch to another remote branch, use the “git push” command and specify the remote name, the name of your local branch as the name of the remote branch.
It depends on the version of Mercurial that you're using. The command used to be hg push -f ... or hg push --force ... to force the creation of a new branch in the remote repository (which is usually OK).
However, using -f also allows you to create new heads in the remote repository (usually not OK), so current versions of Mercurial (1.6 and above) have a --new-branch option to hg push that allows you to create a branch, but not create a new head, so the command is:
hg push --new-branch You can also limit pushes to just the branch that you're working on with the -b flag, so:
hg push --new-branch -b v1 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
