How to create a new branch on GitHub // Commit & Push

►► Establish a Well-Structured Data Warehouse for Your Small Team In 90 Days (Free Guide) → www.kahandatasolutions.com/guide
If you are planning on working with GitHub, you need to understand branches. In this video, we will review the process of creating a new branch, adding a new file, committing the new change and then finally pushing the branch to out GitHub repository.
Branches allow you to develop features, fix bugs, or safely experiment with new ideas in a contained area of your repository.
Use a branch to isolate development work without affecting other branches in the repository. Each repository has one default branch, and can have multiple other branches. You can merge a branch into another branch using a pull request.

im trying to download a project but when i open it isnt working proper. then at the bottom of the project i see this Fork the Project
Create your Feature Branch (git checkout -b feature/Feature)
Commit your Changes (git commit -m 'Add some Feature')
Push to the Branch (git push origin feature/Feature)
Open a Pull Request
i know nothing abut this so could you maybe explain to me how i might ?.

[@farizakberov5536]

Hello, is "pushing" to Github as shown in 6:35 as same as "Publishing" to github (which is said in VSCode -> Source Control) after you commit

[@whiskers08spot09]

Im using Vite, and deploying it to Netlify via Github, would all this still work?

[@thisisaegis]

Thank you

[@MoEDF]

Hi. How to fix that fatal error? Is it the way you created the branch?

[@MICHAELLEE-ni6qb]

When i try to git push origin head I'm getting "error: src refspec head does not match any" and "error: failed to push some refs: ..."

[@user-zt8wf5lp4o]

The video was very good and nicely explained, But need to ask If we want to create branch in other git hub repo under master then do we need that git hub username and email address?

[@クバ]

Thank you. Very helpful
For anyone already knowing Git and just looking for command to push new branch $git push origin head (be sure to be at the branch you want to push)

[@user-jx8fv2jw1f]

Kahan, I am confused about one concept and I want to ask you. I downloaded master repo from a link using VSC and i was trying to add some component in there (as a practice given from someone. I kinda write my own component instead of the given component). Then I want to add these my written component to the original master repo. However, I don't want to merge/push my work with master repo (i just want to show that i have done some work). Do I need to first create my own branch using git branch -c? Then what command to use after? Do i just commit it?

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Hi Han, yes you are on the right track.
1) Create your own feature branch "git branch -b BranchName"
2) Make your changes and save the files
3) "Add" the files to your branch by running "git add ."
4) "Commit" the changes to the branch by running "git commit -m "some message about the changes" "
* Note that at this point the branch and the associated changes only exist on your local machine .
5) "Push" the changes to the remote server so that it is visible to others on GitHub by running "git push origin head"

[@maitreyeedey7731]

Thanks for the video. Really helpful but the fonts are small and hard to see. If you make it a little more visible for your upcoming videos that will be really great.

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Thanks for watching! And yes I've started adding zoom-ins on newer videos to help with that. Hopefully that makes it easier to read

What should I do if I want to want to push and updated version of master file?
I have old master file in master repository and a new file outside of file location. How do I go about pushing changes?

[@KahanDataSolutions]

1. Create a new "dev" branch from existing master branch
2. Add your updates to "dev" branch
3. Merge "dev" branch changes to master branch

[@sameerahmedshaikh4479]

Thank you for this tutorial!! I am an intern. last week I created a new branch and commit the branch using the command "git commit -m "my message". but I was not knowing I should push also. As you said 06:33 will be stored in the local machine. How to find it and push it to git. Kindly help me with this.

[@canhamzacode]

press git status on your terminal to see if they are ready to be pushed if not add them to your local git with the git add . after that commit your change then push. hope it was helpful

[@user-yh3lp3ql1o]

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Nope you can actually have many different branches at the same time

[@brahimlancas8960]

i hope this tuto will show as how without code, i writing this before watching video

[@brahimlancas8960]

i was wrong, that just redicilisness wtever

[@kikesings4843]

The video is very good except your subtitles are covering the terminal and one can't really see what you are doing but can hear you clearly.

[@unique8721]

lol I can't find the branch next to main at all??

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Did you create a new branch first? Also, where are you looking?

[@androkublashvili2738]

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I am getting this error, why not mention " if you are getting errors, then do this..." ?!!!!!!
you should have thought about it !
