git push branch to a new repo with a different nam

问题:

How can I push a branch to a different repo with a new name for the branch.

For instance I have a branch feature1 on repo abc and I'd like to push to repo xyz and make it the master branch.

I tried using Renaming remote git branch but then after doing a git clone on the new repo I got the error message

git Warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout

Is there a way to specify in the push what I want the destination branch name to be?

回答1:

I think this should work:

git push xyz feature1:master

If master already exists, you can clobber it with -f/--force, or +:

git push -f xyz  feature1:master
git push    xyz +feature1:master

From the man page (in the examples section at the end):

   git push origin +dev:master
       Update the origin repository’s master branch with the dev branch,
       allowing non-fast-forward updates. [...]
