Git - Create a new remote branch out of an old commit

I'm using the following Git command in order to create a new remote branch:

git push origin origin:refs/heads/new_branch_name

I wish that the new branch will start from an old commit,

How can I do that? (I've tried some different methods, though failed)

Thank you.

There is a one-liner:

git push origin <id-of-commit>:refs/heads/<name-of-remote-branch>

if you want create a new branch from a specific commit, execute command git log or gitk, copy the id and execute command git checkout ID COMMIT, then commit and push. This link can help you.
