Skill Details

SKILL.md

Push local branch to origin (GitHub) to initialize it remotely. Use when the user has created a local branch and wants to push it to GitHub for the first time, or when setting up a new branch on the remote repository.

Overview

# Git Push Origin

Push a local branch to origin to initialize it on the remote (GitHub).

When to Use

New branch needs to exist on GitHub
First push of a local branch
Setting up remote tracking
Any request to "push branch to origin" or "init branch on GitHub"

Workflow

1. Check Current State

```bash

git status

git branch --show-current

git remote -v

```

2. Push with Upstream Tracking

First push (initialize on origin):

```bash

git push -u origin

```

Or using the current branch:

```bash

git push -u origin HEAD

```

3. Verify Remote Branch

```bash

git branch -vv

git log --oneline --graph --decorate -5

```

Common Scenarios

Push current branch for the first time:

```bash

git push -u origin HEAD

```

Push specific branch:

```bash

git push -u origin feature/my-feature

```

Push after making commits:

```bash

git add .

git commit -m "feat: initial implementation"

git push -u origin HEAD

```

What `-u` (Upstream) Does

The -u flag sets up tracking between local and remote branch:

Future pushes can use just git push
Future pulls can use just git pull
Shows tracking info in git branch -vv

Best Practices

Always use -u on first push to set upstream
Push after initial commit(s) to back up work
Verify branch appears on GitHub
Ensure you're on the correct branch before pushing
