Thanksthat helped me understand this process a lot better. Truly 
appreciate it. You're right, the first response fixed the issue. I just 
wondered if there was a better way to get the branch to begin with, but I 
suppose since that way works it is the way I should do it.

I think you need to read http://git-scm.com/doc  It's a really good book,
especially this section may help you
http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches

The first reply have the answer you are looking for, the problem is in the
upstream branch.

here is what I see when I run git branch -r


You will note that I am in the branch "dev" but cannot see it.

Thank you, but as the original post says, upon pushing the branch it still 
doesn't exist on Github

The above creates a *local* branch.  Once you've got your changes on the local 
branch, then push the branch to the remote:

git push origin

Thank you, but if you will look at the initial post in this thread, I used this 
command and no branch was created on Github.

Awesome answer. So that brings up another question.

What if I have a master branch and I want to create a new branch based off 
of it? What is the command(s) for this?
