Git Branch Creation and Push Guide

Prerequisites​

  • Git installed
  • Repository already cloned
  • Remote repository access

Steps​

1. Create New Branch​

  1. Ensure you're in the correct repository:

    pwd

  2. Check current branch and status:

    git status
    git branch

  3. Create and switch to new branch:

    git checkout -b <YOUR-BRANCH-NAME>

  4. Verify branch creation:

    git branch
    # Should show * nati

2. Stage and Commit​

  1. Check files to be committed:

    git status

  2. Stage all changes:

    git add .

  3. Commit changes:

    git commit -m "Initial commit for nati branch"

  4. Verify commit:

    git log --oneline -n 1

3. Push to Remote​

  1. Push new branch to remote:

    git push -u origin nati

  2. Verify remote push:

    git branch -a

Verification​

  1. Check branch status:

    git status

  2. Confirm remote branch exists:

    git fetch --all
    git branch -r

Troubleshooting​

If push fails:

  1. Check remote connection:

    git remote -v

  2. Ensure you have correct permissions

  3. Try forcing push if necessary:

    git push -f origin nati

Remember to follow your team's branching conventions and ensure you have the necessary permissions for pushing to the remote repository.
