I have a local branch that I would like to branch off of, update just one file, and then push that one file to a separate remote branch. I am getting a git error error: src refspec remote_branch_name does not match any.
I need to do this because the remote app uses mongo, and my computer cant install mongo because of various version issues. I have a working remote branch of the app without mongo and this is why I need to push up individual files.
My process is this:
git checkout local_working_branch
create new branch off of this local branch
git checkout -b local_working_branch_clone
make updates to one file
git add local_file_path
git commit -m "updates to local file"
git push origin remote_branch_name
Is it possible to do this in another way?
