<p>Github is all about sharing content, so at some point you&#8217;ll be willing to push from your local git repository to github&#8217;s. To push a local branch to your remote repository, do:</p> <p><code>git push &lt;remote_repository_name&gt; &lt;branch_name&gt;</code></p> <p>Examples:<br /> Assuming you did <code>git clone git://github.com/you/your-project.git</code>, hence <code>origin</code> is the remote.<br /> - pushing the branch <code>my_new_branch</code> to your Github repos: <code>git push origin my_new_branch</code><br /> - merging the branch <code>experiment</code> into <code>master</code> and push it:<br /> <code>git checkout master</code><br /> <code>git merge experiment</code><br /> <code>git push origin master</code></p> <p>To remove a useless branch after merging and/or pushing, see <a href="http://github.com/guides/remove-a-remote-branch">Guide: Remove a remote branch</a>.</p> 2008-04-17T19:26:21-07:00 40 push-a-branch-to-github 2009-08-30T21:16:25-07:00 3300
