copied!<p>First, you create your branch locally:</p> <pre><code>git checkout -b <branch-name> # Create a new branch and check it out </code></pre> <p>The remote branch is automatically created when you push it to the remote server. So when you feel ready for it, you can just do:</p> <pre><code>git push <remote-name> <branch-name> </code></pre> <p>Where <code><remote-name></code> is typically <code>origin</code>, the name which git gives to the remote you cloned from. Your colleagues would then just pull that branch, and it's automatically created locally.</p> <p>Note however that formally, the format is:</p> <pre><code>git push <remote-name> <local-branch-name>:<remote-branch-name> </code></pre> <p>But when you omit one, it assumes both branch names are the same. Having said this, as a word of <strong>caution</strong>, do not make the critical mistake of specifying only <code>:<remote-branch-name></code> (with the colon), or the remote branch will be deleted!</p> <p>So that a subsequent <code>git pull</code> will know what to do, you might instead want to use:</p> <pre><code>git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <local-branch-name> </code></pre> <p>As described below, the <code>--set-upstream</code> option sets up an upstream branch:</p> <blockquote> <p>For every branch that is up to date or successfully pushed, add upstream (tracking) reference, used by argument-less git-pull(1) and other commands.</p> </blockquote>
