It'd be awesome if someone helped me get this.
Say I'm working in master or in a branch called MyBranch and I want to push the changes I just committed to a new github branch. When I do
git push origin RemoteBranch
it'll say something like
error: src refspec RemoteBranch does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:bla/bla.git'
1) Why is that? It seems that only way to replicate a commit to a remote branch is to make absolutely sure that their names are a perfect match. Basically I have to locally perform a git branch RemoteBranch, and then I can do a push just fine.
2) How can I see the full list of remote branches?
git branch -a
or
git branch -r
will only show the branches whose match I have on my local repo as opposed to all of the branches available on github.
Thank you!
