title: Pushing a local branch up to GitHub
body: <p>I have Git configured so that when I run <code>git push</code>, it pushes changes to my GitHub repo. Until now I have only had a master branch.</p>
  
  <p>However, I have now created a local branch and committed to it using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>git checkout -b my_new_branch
  git commit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I would like to do now is push my changes on this branch to GitHub. Do I just do a git push?</p>
  
  <p>When I first set it up I did run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config push.default current
  </code></pre>
