Pushing changes to branch other than main

I cloned a repo from github I made, I did some changes. My repo on github has 2 branches, main and dev. I want to push my changes to dev first and then main.

I ran:

git branch

while in the cloned (local) repo, giving me the output:

*main

I don't see my dev branch I made on github.

How can I push my changes to the dev branch?

Solution

  • Apparently,

    git branch dev
git checkout dev
git pull origin dev
git push origin dev:dev

    worked.
