How to push the "develop" branch to the remote "origin"?

git github git-flow

When I do git flow init it creates a master and develop branches. When I add the remote I do git remote add origin [email protected]:NewB/our-repo.git. Now I have git flow initialized on my local repo and I have the remote repo added. After I do git push -u origin master I have master in my origin but not the develop branch. Is there a git flow publish for the develop branch? All I'm seeing are publish for feature or release branches. Does git-flow want me to just use regular git and do git push origin develop?

Does git-flow want me to just use regular git and do git push origin develop?

Yes, that's what you do. Simply use the regular git command.

I assume the reason for this design choice is:
The develop branch is created only once. No need for a helper command to publish it.
Feature branches get created all the time. Here, a helper command is, well..., helpful.
