How to push my commits from a new local branch to the remote branch in Git

The remote repo has master and staging branches, and I am only supposed to work in staging. The first thing I did was clone the repo down to my local computer. Then I used git checkout -b form origin/staging to create and checkout a new local branch and have that track the origin/staging remote.

Now I have several commits and am ready to push that to the staging. How do I do that? Can I simply type git push? If I did that, will it just push my commits into the staging branch on the remote or will it create a new branch called forms into the repo which is not what I want.

You can use:

git push repo_name from:to

So for your case:

git push origin form:staging

You could need to update your code before:

# will update merging
git pull

Or:

# will update rebasing
git pull --rebase

For a difference between rebase and merge check this.

You could also pass your changes in form to staging local branches:

# to change local branch
git checkout staging

# to get changes from form branch in staging branch
git merge form

# to push corresponding branch
git push

This way you won't have to give a refspec from:to
