Remote Tracking

Task

Create a local feature branch directly from o/main, add a commit and publish the new branch using the configured tracking relationship.

Steps

1. Create feature from o/main and switch to it.
2. Make one commit.
3. Run push, relying on the branch's link to the remote.

Expected result

A feature branch must appear on origin. The local feature must track o/feature, and main must stay unchanged.

What you will learn

After completing this task you will be able to:

• create a branch from a remote-tracking pointer;
• understand the purpose of the upstream/tracking relationship;
• run push without explicitly naming the branch once the relationship is set up.

Goal
