*list the branches you have locally <code>git branch --list</code>
*list the branches that are on remotes <code>git branch -r --list</code>
*checkout a remote branch, setting the local one to track <code>git checkout -t freephile/patch-1</code>or simply <code>git checkout patch-1</code> if <code>push.autoSetupRemote</code> is set properly
*git branch --merged (while on master) shows you branches which are fully contained in HEAD, and can be deleted.
The short version is
# Go to GitHub.com and create a new repo - but only create a README and/or LICENSE (the less the better).# Copy the HTTPS "clone" URL (or the SSH one if you have an authorized key on the remote host).# Go to your remote host where you have developed your code# git init your project if you haven't already. And also configure git with user.name and user.email# git add .# git commit -m 'First commit'# git remote add the URL from step 2# git pull --rebase# git push
