Git: Pushing multiple branches using wildcards

Question

Here are my list of branches:

$ git br
  BR_4_1_4
* BR_4_2_0
  BR_4_2_0_phase2
  feature/subchecks
  master
  wip/central-build-dir
  wip/cmake
  wip/gcc-pedantic
  wip/noncopyable-cserializable

I'd like to push all of the branches starting with wip/. So I tried this:

$ git push -u origin wip/*
Everything up-to-date

But it says everything is up to date? This can't be since I know a few of these branches do not exist on the remote. Should this work? If not, what's the correct way to do this?

Answer 1

Try

git push -u origin refs/heads/wip/*
