If you are pushing a local branch to your remote repo for the first time:
git push -u origin branch_name
If you already have a local branch that relates to the a remote branch, but it isn’t tracking yet:
git branch -u origin/branch_name
*Note: these instructions assume you have the branch in question checked out already.
