How to push to a remote git branch on Gitlab?

Question

I have this repo on GiLab:

https://gitlab.com/testrepo/api.git

There's a branch on this repo called testing . How can I push to the testing branch of this repo ?

If I do:

git push origin master

It'd push my master to probably the master of the repo.

Answer 1

You can use the command:

git push origin <your_local_branch>:<remote_branch>

to push on any branch in git. In your example, this would be equivalent to running:

git push origin master:testing

Answer 2

You can also try this if you push on any branch in git

If nothing works out go from the basic, create a new branch and go to that branch by git checkout branch_name and make the required changes in the code, than add ., commit and for pushing the local changes to git branch use below command. It should work.

$ git push --set-upstream origin Name_of_the_branch
