How to push a new local branch to remote repo and track it too [git]
- by Roni Yaniv
I tried looking for a an answer to this, but couldn't find any which address this specific need. Which is weird.
I want to be able to do the following:
create a local branch based on some other (remote or local) branch (via git branch or git checkout -b)
push the local branch
to remote repo (publish), but make it
trackable so git pull and git
push will work immediately.
How do I do that?
EDIT: I know about --set-upstream in git 1.7, but that is a post-creation action. i want to find a way to make a similar change when pushing the branch to the remote repo.
