How To Push Git Branch To Remote
Are you working on a new feature and are confused how to push the feature when its ready to its distant GitHub repository remote branch? Know how you to push the git branch to remote without any errors.
In Git, branches are frequently used to create features apart from the main workflow. You have local and remote branches on your repository since Git is a decentralized versioning system. No matter if you're utilizing GitFlow, GitLab flow, or GitHub flow, all local software development should be carried out on local, separate feature branches. Developers are encouraged to experiment, take risks, and come up with new solutions to problems when using branch-based development. But how can a developer upload their brilliantly crafted code from a freshly minted Git branch to a distant GitHub repository? Although it's not difficult, you do need to run a slightly obscure upstream branch Git configuration task before pushes to the distant GitHub repository start happening by accident.
You must use the "git push" command and give the remote and branch name to push a Git branch to a remote location.$ git push
For instance, you would do the following query if you needed to push a branch called "feature" to the "origin" remote.$ git push origin feature
Use the "git checkout" command to jump to your branch if you aren't already on it before pressing "push."If your upstream branch has not yet been formed, you must do so by using the "git push" command with the "-u" upstream option.$ git push -u origin feature
Congratulations, your branch has been successfully pushed to your remote!
You might find it useful in some circumstances to push your modifications to a different branch on the remote repository. Use the "git push" command and supply the remote name, your local branch's name, as the remote branch's name, to push your branch to another remote branch.$ git push
Let's use the creation of a local branch called "my-feature" as an example.$ git branch
master
* my-feature
feature
The remote branch on your repository is called "feature," however, you want to push your changes. The following command would be used to push your branch to the "feature" branch.$ git push origin my-feature:feature

It may be necessary to merge the remote branch into your current local branch before pushing your branch to another branch. The remote branch's tip cannot be in front of the branch you are attempting to push for them to merge. Pull the updates from the remote branch and merge them with your current local branch before pushing.$ git pull
$ git checkout my-feature
$ git merge origin/feature
$ git push origin my-feature:feature
You've successfully pushed your branch to a different branch in your repository!
The "git push" command must be used, together with the correct remote name and branch to be pushed, to push a branch to another repository.$ git push
Execute "git remote" with the "-v" option for "verbose" to view the remotes defined in your repository.$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)
custom https://github.com/user/custom.git (fetch)
custom https://github.com/user/custom.git (push)
In the above instances, we pushed our branch to the "origin" remote; however, if we like, we might choose to publish it to the "custom" remote.$ git push custom feature
Congratulations, you successfully pushed your branch to a different remote repository.
Failed to push some refs
hint: updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote, according to the error notice (references are behind).To correct this, you must first use the "git pull" command to fetch the most current modifications from your remote branches.$ git pull
You might encounter merge conflicts when pulling the changes; if so, resolve the issues and commit the changes once more. Once the files have been merged, you can try pushing your branch to the remote location once more.$ git push origin feature
