I can never figure out how to do this, and my local GitAlmostExpert
is not around.
I want to muck with the GLs in a new branch. So I want to make a new
branch called 'sydb-WHATEVER'. It should track a branch of the same
name in GitHub (in remotes/origin/, I guess, but I'm not sure that's
the right nomenclature). I want to create it on my own commandline
locally, check it out, make same changes checking in as needed, and
then when done for the day push it up to GitHub so I can check fetch
it and then check it out and work some more when I get home. Pretty
reasonable request, IMHO.
But I don't want to have to go to the GitHub website to do this. I
just want to type at my coammandline.
Do we have doc on how to do this already, and I've just missed it? If
not, anyone want to tell me what the BLEEP to type? (I can give you a
sizable list of `git branch` commands that *don't* do what I want. :-)
Thanks.
