How to push a new branch in git? [duplicate]

Question

Checked out master branch, made changes. How now to create a new branch, commit changes, and push it to the remote?

Answer 1

Four steps to get your changes committed locally and get them pushed to your server:

Create a local branch and commit to it

git checkout -b your-shiny-branch
git add .
git commit -m "Your Message"

Push your branch to your remote (server)

git push -u origin your-shiny-branch

If you then need to do further commits, start from command #2 and omit the -u flag during the git push on step #4.
