By default, when you push to a remote repository, Git pushes the current branch to the remote repository. However, there might be times when you want to push to a branch that is different from the current branch.
The syntax for pushing to a different branch is as follows:
git push <remote> <local_branch>:<remote_branch>
Let’s say you have a branch called main
and you want to push your changes to a branch called staging
. You can do so by running the following command:
git push origin main:staging
This will either create a new branch called staging
or push your changes to an existing branch called staging
.
