Push Branch to GitHub

To push a branch from your local Git repository to GitHub, you can follow these steps:


1. **Navigate to the Local Repository**: Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory of your local Git repository using the `cd` command.


2. **Check Remote Repository**: Ensure that you have set up the remote repository on GitHub. You can use the `git remote -v` command to check the configured remotes. You should see an entry for the GitHub repository.

If you haven't added a remote repository, you can add it using the following command:
git remote add origin <repository-url>
Replace `<repository-url>` with the URL of the GitHub repository.


3. **Create and Checkout the Branch**: If you haven't created the branch locally yet, use the following command to create a new branch and switch to it:

git checkout -b <branch-name>

Replace `<branch-name>` with the name you want to give to your branch.
If the branch already exists and you want to switch to it, you can use the following command:
git checkout <branch-name>


4. **Push the Branch**: Once you have made the necessary changes on the branch and committed them, you can push the branch to GitHub using the following command:

git push origin <branch-name>
Replace `<branch-name>` with the name of the branch you want to push.
This command pushes the local branch to the remote repository on GitHub, making it available to others.


5. **Verify the Pushed Branch on GitHub**: Visit the GitHub repository's page in your web browser and navigate to the branch you pushed. You should see the branch listed and have access to its files and commit history.


By following these steps, you can push a branch from your local Git repository to GitHub. This allows you to share your changes with others and collaborate effectively on the specific branch. Make sure to specify the correct branch name when pushing to ensure your changes go to the desired branch.
