Target Remote Branch
In this area, specify the branch to upload the changes from the current branch to.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Push current branch to alternative branch |
|
| Target Branch |
From this drop-down list, choose the target branch to upload the current branch to.
Note If your project uses several Git repositories, the list shows only the branches that are common for all repositories. For example, if your project uses repo_one and repo_two, where repo_one has two branches origin and github while repo_two has only origin, then only origin will be available from the drop-down list, so there is no way to push to github from IntelliJ IDEA. |
| New Branch | In this text box, type the name of a new remote branch to be created, if the target branch is not yet present in the remote repository. This situation is quite common, for example, when you are publishing your project IntelliJ IDEA will automatically set up tracking (git push -u origin newbranch). |
