How to create a REMOTE branch using smartgit?

Answer

Jarrod Smith picture Jarrod Smith · Jun 20, 2012

The Push Advanced trick didn't work for me. The only way I can seem to do this on SmartGit 3.0.6 was:

  • Remote -> Manage Remotes, then click Add and put in the details of the remote e.g. 'master', 'https://github.com/SomeCompany/SomeRepo'.
  • Then click Pull. It will say that it can only update submodules blah blah, hit OK. The Fetch will output a warning "no common commits".
  • Now go to Branch -> Branch Manager. Right-click on your local branch and choose Set Tracked Branch... then choose the appropriate remote branch.
  • Fetch again. Properly this time.
  • Finally do your push to the remote.

It's quite an achievement for a GUI tool to make something less intuitive, but SmartGit does an amazing job of it here.
