💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a fixed branch name like 'master' or 'main' when you are on a different branch.

Using a generic word like 'branch' which is not a valid Git ref.

Using HEAD tells Git to push the current branch you are on to the remote.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Just using 'feature' requires you to be currently checked out on the 'feature' branch.

Using caret (^) or tilde (~) are for commit references, not branch names.

The syntax feature:feature pushes your local 'feature' branch to the remote 'feature' branch.
