Push branch to remote

Use to push commits made on your local branch to a remote repository.

The git push command takes two arguments:

• A remote name, for example, origin
• A branch name, for example, master

For example:

git push  <REMOTENAME> <BRANCHNAME>

As an example, you usually run git push origin master to push your local changes to your online repository.

Using -u (short for --set-upstream) will set up the tracking information during the push.

git push -u <REMOTENAME> <BRANCHNAME>

By default, git pushes the local branch to a remote branch with the same name. For example, if you have a local called new-feature, if you push the local branch it will create a remote branch new-feature as well. If you want to use a different name for the remote branch, append the remote name after the local branch name, separated by ::

git push <REMOTENAME> <LOCALBRANCHNAME>:<REMOTEBRANCHNAME>
