Push local branch to remote

Question

I have created local branch:

git checkout -b tmp1

Now I would like to push this branch to server:

git push remote_tmp1 tmp1

Got error:

fatal: 'remote_tmp1' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

How to push my branch to server?

you should only use your remote repository name: `git push remote tmp1` — Masked Man, Sep 29 '16 at 08:48

The git push syntax is:

git push <remote-name> <branch-name>

Therefore, replace your <remote-name> with the name of your remote (probably origin if you cloned from it).

If you don't know its name, just like them using git remote

This is very simple:

git push origin tmp1

You are getting that specific error because you have not added remote_tmp1 as a remote repository.

Add the remote repository first and then retry pushing: git remote add remote_tmp1 https://remoteserver.com/repository.git git push --set-upstream remote_tmp1 tmp1

You can add the remote using https as above or with ssh if available. For example if you're using Github you can use either: https://github.com/username/repository.git or git@github.com/username/repository.git.
