Making a Git push from a detached head

Question

I am on a detached head and made some changes. I want to push up these changed to this detached head with Git. I do not want my changes to go onto the develop branch and certainly not on the master branch. I am working on a file with another individual.

Example branches

   develop
   master
   *(HEAD detached at origin/49792_testMocha)

How do I push into head without affecting develop or master?

Answer 1

If you are on a detached head and you want to push to your remote branch

git push origin HEAD:name-of-your-branch

otherwise you can create a new branch and push to it ( it will be created automatically )

git branch new-branch-name
git push -u origin new-branch-name
