Steps to create a new branch on Remote Git Repository

Start a New Branch on your Remote Git Repository

Creating a Remote Branch

1. Create the remote branch

git push origin origin:refs/heads/new_feature_name

2. Make sure everything is up-to-date

git fetch origin

3. Then you can see that the branch is created.

git branch -r

This should show ‘origin/new_feature_name’

4. Start tracking the new branch

git checkout --track -b new_feature_name origin/new_feature_name

This means that when you do pulls that it will get the latest from that branch as well.

5. Make sure everything is up-to-date

git pull



Remove local branch

git -d branch-name

Remove remote branch

git push origin :name-of-branch
