Bitbucket newly created remote branch is not listed

Just created a new branch in Bitbucket but I can see it neither in sourcetree nor using the git branch -r command. Why do you think that is? Why I can't see that branch?

Do I need at least 1 commit on this fresh branch to see it in the remote list?

After creating the remote branch (from branch X) I did: 

git pull origin X  
git fetch --all 
git remote update

I also did git config -e fetch is defined as below for remote X: 

[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

None of them worked. That fresh branch is still invisible.

Please follow the below steps:

Step 1: After creating new branch run this command from project directory (if you change directory earlier)

git fetch && git checkout <new_branch_name>

Step 2:

git add .

Step 3:

git commit -m "write your commit"

Step 4:

git push origin <new_branch_name>

[remote "X"]

If your remote is named X (like your branch), no amount of fetch or pull origin will fetch or pull anything from remote "X".

Even git fetch X might not fetch anything if you have no remote "origin" (and the refspec associate with remote X is refs/remotes/origin/*: if you don't have an origin...)

Type git remote -v and check if origin is actually referencing the right repo.
If you do, git config --local --edit will allow you to go and change your config, fixing the discrepancy between the name of the remote and the refspec.

A git ls-remote | grep X can help detect if the branch actually does exist.

Ok, I found the problem. The problem was actually about my being careless. The branch is created in the remote branch but I was not paying attention to the "Branch type" parameter while creating the branch in Bitbucket. git branch -r was listing all the branches on the remote alphabetically and I was trying to see my branch among the "feature/..." branch list but I had not created the brach as a "feature" branch type, I had created is as a "custom" branch type and it was being listed towards the top of a huge branch list without feature/ prefix. Thanks, @VonC for all the help.

You may please try to push your branch to upstream using :

git push -u origin X
