Before creating a new branch, pull the changes from upstream. Your master needs to be up to date.
Create the branch on your local machine and switch in this branch :
$ git checkout -b [name_of_your_new_branch]
Change working branch :
$ git checkout [name_of_your_new_branch]
Push the branch on github :
$ git push origin [name_of_your_new_branch]
When you want to commit something in your branch, be sure to be in your branch. Add -u parameter to set upstream.
You can see all branches created by using :
$ git branch
boroo@homework MINGW64 /d/Projects/Python.Projects/maths (branch1)
$ git commit -m "change by branch1"
[branch1 f493b16] change by branch1
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-)
boroo@homework MINGW64 /d/Projects/Python.Projects/maths (branch1)
$ git push
fatal: The current branch branch1 has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use
git push --set-upstream origin branch1
boroo@homework MINGW64 /d/Projects/Python.Projects/maths (branch1)
$ git push --set-upstream origin branch1
