# $ git checkout --track -b <local name> origin/<remote name>
# Note: this creates a local branch <local name> based on the upstream branch and switches your working copy to that branch.

# Push a local branch remotely with this
#
# git push some_repo local_branch:refs/heads/new_branch
# example
# git push origin master:refs/heads/staging will create the branch staging in the origin repository by copying the local master branch
