It does here.

No, checking out means putting the contents of a revision in the current working directory. This is true in all version control systems, including Mercurial. An alias for `hg checkout` is `hg update`. You don't need to checkout a branch to push it, just do: `git push foo` (no refspec). > > git push hg-remote hairyblocks > > > That would be translated to a refspec: > > > git push hg-remote > > refs/heads/hairyblocks:refs/heads/branches/hairyblocks > > > But if you are already specifying the refspec, nothing gets translated. > > > > It does, but you haven't created the local branches, soyou can't do > > `git push foo`, if "foo" doesn't exist. > > > > But you are going to need to do that only once. > > So to sum it up: > > 1.

What I suggested was to use `git switch` to *create* them. Yes, `git switch` also checks them out, but that's an unnecessary step. You can skip that step by doing `git branch` instead of `git switch` (or `git checkout`). But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they get *created*. But as I already explained, you don't even need to create them. > So you suggested > > > git for-each-ref --format='git switch %(refname:lstrip=3)' > > refs/remotes/origin > > > > Or you can push the commit of a remote branch: > > > > git push hg-remote remotes/origin/modernize:modernize > > That this would save me to step to checkout the branches, but > > git push hg-remote remotes/origin/modernize:modernize git push hg-remote remotes/origin/modernize:refs/heads/branches/modernize Not git push hg-remote remotes/origin/modernize:modernize And this is orthogonal to `git switch`: either you *create* the local branches, or you don't. If you create the branches with `git switch` (or `git branch` or whatever), then you don't need to specify the refspec in `git push`. If you do not create the branches, then you need a refspec (as explained above). -- Felipe Contreras -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
