[Quick Answer]

You can do it in 2 steps:

1. Use the checkout for create the local branch:

git checkout -b yourBranchName

2. Use the push command to autocreate the branch and send the code to the remote repository:

git push -u origin yourBranchName

There are multiple ways to do this but I think that this way is really simple.

you can simply,

1. git checkout -b YOUR-NEW-BRANCH-NAME
2. git add .
3. git push origin YOUR-NEW-BRANCH-NAME

you can see your branch with the code under the relevant git repo

I have used two ways to create branch

If you are using TortoiseGit follow these steps:-

1.Create Branch using TortoiseGit

Right click on your project >>> TortoiseGit >>> Create Branch >>> write the name of branch and select the base branch then press ok

2.Push the branch

Right click on your project >>> TortoiseGit >>> push >>> click ok

3.Switch to new branch

Right click on your project >>> TortoiseGit >>> Switch/Checkout >>> select newly created branch and press ok

If you are using command prompt follow these steps:-

1.Create branch using command prompt

$git checkout -b new_branch_name

2.Push the branch

$git push origin new_branch_name

3.Switch to new branch it will already switched to new_branch_name otherwise you can use

$git checkout new_branch_name

I use this and it is pretty handy:

git config --global alias.mkdir '!git checkout -b $1; git status; git push -u origin $1; exit;'

Usage: git mkdir NEW_BRANCH

You don't even need git status; maybe, I just want to make sure everything is going well...

You can have BOTH the LOCAL and REMOTE branch with a single command.

I've solved this by adding this into my bash ~/.profile:

function gitb() { git checkout -b $1 && git push --set-upstream origin $1; }

Then to start up a new local + remote branch, I write:

gitb feature/mynewbranch

This creates the branch and does the first push, not just to setup tracking (so that later git pull and git push work without extra arguments), but actually confirming that the target repo doesn't already have such branch in it.

Heres an example I only have two branches that were local first: origin and mobile-test.

Nothing for me worked until I used this in command line to actually show my updated files in a remote branch.

git push --set-upstream origin mobile-test

If you have used --single-branch to clone the current branch, use this to create a new branch from the current:

git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
git push -u origin <new-branch-name>
git remote set-branches origin --add <new-branch-name>
git fetch
