every time I have to push my branch to remote on GitHub I have to run the following command,
git push --set-upstream sensorAtHome WIP
however at office I just go ahead and push to our company cgit server.
so what is different and what do I need to do, locally for my GitHub project I have a already done this:
git remote add <name> <url>
I thought that was enough .
secondly what <name>
refers to name of branch or name of repository?

Check your git branch -avv
output, as well as git remote -v
Your office branch is probably already linked to a remote tracking branch.
See "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"
You should push once with:
git push -u sensorAtHome WIP
Then a simple git push would be enough: your local branch would know where and to which branch to push ("where" is sensorAtHome
remote url, and "which branch" is sensorAtHome/WIP
)
