I have an untracked branch that was originally cloned from a remote branch called origin/develop. I want to push this branch to the remote branch origin/feature/A. origin/feature/A does not exist yet. I want it to be created when I push. We already have branches origin/feature/XYZ on the remote and I'm trying to stay consistent. The branch locally is called A.
How do I do this?
You should be able to git push origin A:feature/A.
From the documentation:
<refspec>…Specify what destination ref to update with what source object. The format of a
<refspec>parameter is an optional plus +, followed by the source object<src>, followed by a colon:, followed by the destination ref<dst>.…
The
<dst>tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this push.
As knittl points out in the comments, you can add the -u flag to make your local A branch track the new origin/feature/A branch.
