Push specific commit a remote branch

I set up a local branch which tracks remote/mainline and made some changes to this local branch.

Besides git push to push the changes to remote/mainline, could I also push these changes to remote/mainline2 without setting additional local branch tracking remote/mainline2?

You can do git push origin [branchNameHere] or ggpush if you use ohmyzsh (does the same thing)

Or if you want to continue to push to that branch and not need to go ggpush, just do git branch -u [branch] [--set-upstream works too]

If your local branch name is mainline:

git push remote mainline:mainline2

This is an explicit push which indicates the local source branch and the remote targeted one. It creates the remote branch if the one does not exist.

You can push to any branch you want

To push HEAD

git push origin HEAD:MY_FUN_NEW_BRANCH

To push a specific branch

git push origin mainline:mainline2
