Create Remote Branche with git

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I was lead down some interesting paths figuring out this simple flow.  So I thought I’d post it to save some time…and hopefully someone else’s.

Also, here’s a nice cheetsheet: http://cheat.errtheblog.com/s/git

# Sets up a local branch
git branch my_test

# Creates the remote branch
git push origin my_test

# Deletes a remote branch
git push origin :my_test

# Delete branch locally
git branch -d my_test

UPDATE: (5/27/2009)
Get a remote branch that exists on the server but not locally (tracking is set by default)

git checkout -b my_test_prod origin/my_test_prod

  4. Add the following text to the end of the file:
