Git remote branch creation

easiest remote Git branch creation

I use git simply to synchronize stuff for personnal projects. Therefore, when I create a local branch I want most of time this branch to be created remotely.

Here is the script I use to achieve that:

➥ git-create-new-branch.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env zsh

if (($#<1)); then
    print -- "usage: $0:t branch_name" >&2
    exit 1
fi

branch=$1
git br ${branch}
git co ${branch}
git config branch.${branch}.remote origin
git config branch.${branch}.merge refs/heads/${branch}

Of course, I suppose origin is already configured.
