How to git push to a different branch with Visual Studio Code?

I realized that after a commit in VSCode there's a "Push" menu option that pushes the commit to the default branch.

However, I often need to push it as well to different branches. Is there a way to do this or run git push --progress "origin" DEFAULT_BRANCH:OTHER_BRANCH through VSCode?

Update 2022-12-27

On the Source Control tab (Ctrl+⇧+G or ^+⌘+G on Mac), press ⃛ to access Git commands dropdown menu:

  1. Switch to the branch to push – Branch > Create Branch OR Checkout to... > ➕ Create New Branch

    Commit & Push button

  2. Press the Commit & Push button (if not visible, press ⌄ under the Message text box)

  3. two popups will show up for you to confirm staging, committing and pushing of your changes to this new branch

Confirm & commit unstaged changes Publish and push new branch

Alternative using only menu options:

  1. Switch to the branch to push – Branch > Create Branch OR Checkout to... > ➕ Create New Branch
  2. Stage your changes – ➕ button above the files list OR Changes > Stage All Changes (several Git: options available)
  3. Commit your changes – ✓ top left button OR Commit
  4. Push the new branch: Branch > Publish Branch (or just use the Push option and press OK in the popup)

All above options can be accessed through commands F1 (Mac: fn+F1 or ⇧+⌘+P) and typing git [command], e.g. "git checkout".
