Push locally committed changes to new branch

Question

I am currently in master branch, I have committed the changes (locally) and tried to push it but it got rejected because I don't have access to push to master branch. Now I have created another branch dev where I have the permission to push.

Since I have already committed locally to master branch, how do I push these committed changes of master to dev branch?

Answer 1

Assuming your remote is named origin ,

git push origin master:dev

would achieve it by explicitly giving source and destination. See it explained in this paragraph .

This can be run from any branch as it's not using current branch for anything.
