NAME
       git-create-branch - Create branches


SYNOPSIS
       git-create-branch [-r|--remote [remote_name]] <branchname>


DESCRIPTION
       Creates local branch named <branchname> and optionally sets up a remote tracking branch.


OPTIONS
       <-r|--remote [remote_name]>

       Setup a remote tracking branch using remote_name. If remote_name is not supplied, use origin by default.

       <branchname>

       The name of the branch to create.


PREFERENCES
       You  may  save  your  default  preference  for  the  remote option above by using git config with the key
       git-extras.create-branch.remote whose value  will  be  the  default  remote  when  [-r|--remote]  is  not
       specified.

           $ git config git-extras.create-branch.remote lucinda

       The command line option -r|--remote will override this preference.


EXAMPLES
       With no remote preference set:

           # creates local branch ´integration´
           $ git create-branch integration

           # creates local & remote branch ´integration´ (on default ´origin´)
           $ git create-branch -r integration

           # creates local & remote branch ´integration´ on ´upstream´
           $ git create-branch -r upstream integration

       With git-extras.create-branch.remote preference set to ´lucinda´:

           # creates local & remote branch ´integration´ (on preference ´lucinda´)
           $ git create-branch integration

           # overriding preference, using default `-r` of ´origin´
           # creates local & remote branch ´integration´ on default ´origin´
           $ git create-branch -r integration

           # overriding preference, using specified `-r` of ´upstream´
           # creates local & remote branch ´integration´ on ´upstream´
           $ git create-branch -r upstream integration


NOTES
       ○   As of 4.4.0, the default behavior has changed. git-create-branch will no longer automatically setup a
           remote tracking branch unless the -r|-remote option is specified. See additional note  on  preference
           feature in 4.8.0-dev below.

       ○   As  of 4.8.0-dev, the remote option can be set via git config preference as described in #PREFERENCES
           section.
