Add support for pushing a branch

Open splintor opened this issue 13 years ago • 3 comments

I'm currently using GitHub for windows to do it, but it would be nice if I could use GitForce to push my local branch to my origin repository on github, and then create a pull request.

I am using GitHub in a pretty basic way - using GitForce to push/pull files. I guess there can be much more complexity to it. Can you walk me through the desired scenario step by step? That may also teach me new ways to do things, perhaps. Thanks!

I'm not that expert either. My usual way of work is this: I create a branch for a change I make, than I open GitHub for Windows and click Publish to send the branch from my local repository to my GitHub repository, and then I click Pull Request button on the GitHub web site. I now saw that there are pull/push/fetch commands in the Settings window, but I would expect these to be a items in the branch right-click menu, so I can pull, push or fetch a specific branch.

Oh, I see! That's what we do at work with Android and Gerrit - you never push your main, but only your temp working branch, and then you pull into the main. I dont think I ever used GitForce for that so the particular commands may not be correct. Let me fix that.
