I create a new branch like this:
git branch dev-itt-9
However, it only creates a new branch on local
git branch -a * dev-itt-9 master testing remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/development remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/testing
What is the proper way to create a new branch on both local and remote?
I am quite new to git. Sorry if my question is stupid.
First, you create your branch locally:
git checkout -b <branch-name>
The remote branch is automatically created when you push it to the remote server. So when you feel ready for it, you can just do:
git push <remote-name> <branch-name>
Where <remote-name> is typically origin, the name which git gives to the remote you cloned from. Your colleagues would then just pull that branch, and it's automatically created locally.

git push origin dev-itt-9. So it will create origin/dev-itt-9 on your remote.
Suppose you already created your local branch (using git branch <branch-name> or git checkout -b <branch-name>), and that you are on the brancfh that you want to push (using git checkout <branch-name> for example) you can use:
git push -u origin <branch-name>
explications:
-u = --set-upstream : set this new remote branch as tracking branch.origin : the name of your remote repository
git push origin dev-itt-9 will do the trick for you; add -u if you want to track the (new) remote branch
git branch <branch-name from this answer - when on other branch, one would have to checkout first anyway, am I right?
git add .,git commit -m "your message",git push origin dev-itt-9!
