How do I create a remote Git branch

In this article you will see how you can create a new branch and commit changes into new branch and push changes to remote repository using git command

 

To create a remote Git branch, you first need to create a local branch and then push it to a remote repository.

First, check out to the branch you want to create the new branch from. For example, if you want to create a branch from the "master" branch, you would run the command "git checkout master"

  1. Next, create a new local branch by running the command "git branch <branch-name>" where branch-name is the name of the new branch you want to create.
  2. Push the new local branch to the remote repository by running the command "git push origin <branch-name>". This will create the new branch on the remote repository and link it to the local branch.

You can also create the branch and push it in one command by running "git push origin <branch-name> -u"

It's important to note that, you should be in the branch you want to create the new branch from, and also make sure you are up-to-date with the remote repository before creating a new branch.

Also, after creating the branch and pushing it to the remote repository, you should switch to the new branch using "git checkout <branch-name>" command and make the changes in the new branch before pushing them.

 

 

To commit changes into new branch and push to remote

To commit changes into a new branch, you first need to create the new branch and switch to it. Here are the steps:

First, check out to the branch you want to create the new branch from. For example, if you want to create a branch from the "master" branch, you would run the command "git checkout master"

Next, create a new local branch by running the command "git branch <branch-name>" where branch-name is the name of the new branch you want to create.

1. Switch to the new branch by running the command "git checkout <branch-name>"

2. Make the necessary changes to the files in the working directory

3. Stage the changes by running the command "git add <file>" for each file you want to commit or "git add ." to stage all the changes in the working directory

4. Commit the changes by running the command "git commit -m <message>" where message is a brief description of the changes you made.

5. Push the new local branch to the remote repository by running the command "git push origin <branch-name>". This will create the new branch on the remote repository and link it to the local branch.

You can also create the branch and push it in one command by running "git push -u origin <branch-name>", but it will fail if the branch already exist.

It's important to note that, you should be in the branch you want to create the new branch from, and also make sure you are up-to-date with the remote repository before creating a new branch.

 

git checkout <branch-name>

git commit -m <message>
