git push to existing remote branch

Question

How do I push changes from a local git branch to an existing non-master remote branch? If I do a "git push", it tries to push changes in all local branches to the remotes they are tracking.

Answer 1

To do this you use a refspec , as explained in the git push documentation . For example:

git push origin local_branch_name:remote_branch_name

Answer 2

If the branch already exists in the repository, it should just be:

git push origin branch_name
