Push a local branch to a remote repository in Git
The Problem
How do I push a new local branch to a remote Git repository with tracking, so that I can use git push and git pull?
The Solution
First, create a new local branch:
git checkout -b my-feature-branch
Second, make changes and create a commit:
git add --all
git commit -m "Added a new feature."
Third, push your commit with the --set-upstream flag (-u for short):
git push -u origin my-feature-branch
