# Push To A Branch On Another Remote
|
|
|
|
The kind of `git-push` I do most often is:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git push origin HEAD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which I have aliased to `put` in my `.gitconfig`.
|
|
|
|
`HEAD` generally refers to whatever branch you currently have checked out. So
|
|
this command will take the state of your current branch and push it to the
|
|
branch of the same name on the `origin`, which is a _remote_ (see `git remote
|
|
-v`).
|
|
|
|
If you have other remotes set up, such as a `staging`, `heroku`, etc., then you
|
|
may instead want to push to one of those.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git push heroku HEAD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will push the state of the current branch to that branch on the `heroku`
|
|
remote.
|
|
|
|
If I instead want to push the changes from one local branch to a different
|
|
named remote branch, then I have to specify both like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git push heroku staging:main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will push the state of my local `staging` branch to the `main` branch on
|
|
the `heroku` remote.
