Push Your Branch

Objective: Push Your Branch

Welcome to Micro-Quest: Pushing Your Branch to the Cloud.

Our objective is to push your local feature branch to the remote 'origin' repository using the git push --set-upstream origin <your-branch-name> command.

This step is crucial for sharing your work and setting up tracking between your local branch and the remote one.

Check Spec: Local Branch State

Before pushing, let's perform an initial check.

Ensure you are currently on the local branch you intend to push. This branch should contain the commits you want to share with the remote repository.

You can use git status or git branch to confirm your current branch and its state.

Implement: Push with Upstream

Now, let's implement the core task: pushing your local branch to the remote origin and setting up upstream tracking.

Step by step checklist:

  1. Execute the command to push your current local branch to the origin remote.
  2. Ensure the command includes the flag to set the upstream tracking reference.
  3. Replace <your-branch-name> with the actual name of your local branch.

  • Git Remotes

Validate: Remote Branch Exists

With the push complete, let's validate that your branch now exists on the remote origin repository.

Verification involves checking the remote repository directly (e.g., on GitHub, GitLab, etc.) to see if your branch appears.

Alternatively, you can use Git commands like git branch -r to list remote branches or git remote show origin to see the status of the origin remote, including tracked branches.
