In order to push a Git branch to remote, you need to execute the “git push” command and specify the remote as well as the branch name to be pushed. If you are not already on the branch that you want to push, you can execute the “git checkout” command to switch to your branch.
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.
You can clone a specific branch from a Git repository using the git clone –single-branch –branch command. This command retrieves all the files and metadata associated with one branch. To retrieve other branches, you'll need to fetch them later on.
yes, just do the following
git checkout feature_x
git push origin feature_x
By default git push updates all the remote branches. But you can configure git to update only the current branch to it's upstream.
git config push.default upstream
It means git will update only the current (checked out) branch when you do git push.
Other valid options are:
nothing : Do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is explicitly given. This is primarily meant for people who want to avoid mistakes by always being explicit.matching : Push all branches having the same name on both ends. (default option prior to Ver 1.7.11) upstream: Push the current branch to its upstream
branch. This mode only makes sense if you are pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from (i.e. central workflow). No need to have the same name for local and remote branch.tracking : Deprecated, use upstream instead.current : Push the current branch to the remote branch of the same name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central workflows.simple : [available since Ver 1.7.11] in centralized workflow, work like upstream with an added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch’s name is different from the local one. When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally pull from, work as current. This is the safest option and is suited for beginners. This mode has become the default in Git 2.0.Minor update on top of Karthik Bose's answer - you can configure git globally, to affect all of your workspaces to behave that way:
git config --global push.default upstream
