Creating a new branch using Github Mac Application

When I create a new branch using the Github Mac App, that branch does not show up on the Github website. Also the other way around is the same, when I create a new branch using the website, that branch does not show up on the app. Can anyone tell me why this is?

edit: I believe it is because nothing had been committed.

You have to push the local branch to your repo to have it appear on Github.com. You can do this by clicking the Publish button next to the branch on the Branches view, or the Publish Branch button in the window's title bar.

You have to pull the remote branch from Github.com to have it appear locally. I believe the only way to do that from the Github for Mac client is to use the Sync button.
