Work with git remote branches

Creating a Remote Branch

Create the remote branch

git push origin origin:refs/heads/new_feature_name
Make sure everything is up-to-date

git fetch origin
Then you can see that the branch is created.

git branch -r
Start tracking the new branch

git checkout --track -b new_feature_name origin/new_feature_name
Make sure everything is up-to-date

git pull

Cleaning up Mistakes

If you make a mistake you can always delete the remote branch

git push origin :heads/new_feature_name

Use the Branch from Another Location

When you get to another computer or clone the git repository to a new computer, then you just need to start tracking the new branch again.

git branch -r

to show all the remote branches

git checkout --track -b new_branch origin/new_feature_name

to start tracking the new branch.

markdown cheat sheet

(source)

A short sheet of the Markdown syntax. See the the complete Markdown syntax for extra tasty details.

# Header 1 #
## Header 2 ##
### Header 3 ###             (Hashes on right are optional)
#### Header 4 ####
##### Header 5 #####

## Markdown plus h2 with a custom ID ##         {#id-goes-here}
[Link back to H2](#id-goes-here)

This is a paragraph, which is text surrounded by whitespace. Paragraphs can
be on one line (or many), and can drone on for hours.

Here is a Markdown link to [Warped](http://warpedvisions.org), and a literal .
Now some SimpleLinks, like one to [google] (automagically links to are-you-
feeling-lucky), a [wiki: test] link to a Wikipedia page, and a link to
[foldoc: CPU]s at foldoc.

Now some inline markup like _italics_,  **bold**, and `code()`. Note that
underscores in words are ignored in Markdown Extra.

![picture alt](/images/photo.jpeg "Title is optional")

> Blockquotes are like quoted text in email replies
>> And, they can be nested

* Bullet lists are easy too
- Another one
+ Another one

1. A numbered list
2. Which is numbered
3. With periods and a space

And now some code:

    // Code is just text indented a bit
    which(is_easy) to_remember();

~~~

// Markdown extra adds un-indented code blocks too

if (this_is_more_code == true && !indented) {
    // tild wrapped code blocks, also not indented
}

~~~

Text with
two trailing spaces
(on the right)
can be used
for things like poems

### Horizontal rules

* * * *
****
--------------------------


<div class="custom-class" markdown="1">
This is a div wrapping some Markdown plus.  Without the DIV attribute, it
ignores the block.
</div>

## Markdown plus tables ##

| Header | Header | Right  |
| ------ | ------ | -----: |
|  Cell  |  Cell  |   $10  |
|  Cell  |  Cell  |   $20  |

* Outer pipes on tables are optional
* Colon used for alignment (right versus left)

## Markdown plus definition lists ##

Bottled water
: $ 1.25
: $ 1.55 (Large)

Milk
Pop
: $ 1.75

* Multiple definitions and terms are possible
* Definitions can include multiple paragraphs too

*[ABBR]: Markdown plus abbreviations (produces an <abbr> tag)
