git remote add development git@github.com:user/repository.git
(where origin is development)
git checkout -b development
(where branch name is also development)
git branch --set-upstream-to=development/development development
(setting “origin/remote branch” as “development/development development”)
git push -v development development
(finally, push to “origin branch” as “development development”)
Confused or amazed? You can set other branches this way to really get your local git going.
