# How Do I Push a New Local Branch to a Remote Git Repository and Track It Too?

To push a new local branch to a remote Git repository and track it, you can use the `git push` command with the `--set-upstream` or `-u` option. Here's how you can do it:

```bash
git push -u origin <local-branch-name>
```

Replace `<local-branch-name>` with the name of your new local branch.

Explanation:

- `git push`: This command is used to push changes from your local repository to a remote repository.
- `u` or `-set-upstream`: This option tells Git to set up tracking so that your local branch will track the remote branch with the same name on the remote repository (`origin`).
- `origin`: This is the default name Git gives to the remote repository. If your remote repository has a different name, replace `origin` with the appropriate remote name.
- `<local-branch-name>`: This is the name of the new local branch you want to push to the remote repository.
