Have you tried quoting the branch name? Using git checkout -b 'my&branch' works for me (single quotes around the branch name). Pushing to a local remote also works: git push --set-upstream ../git-test-2 'my&branch' That being said, I would advise not using & in branch names, specifically because it is a special character in shells.
