In the end I managed to add the new, previously unknown remote branch (without fetching) by adding a new head file at.
I found that there was no way to force adding a remote branch on the local that hadn't been fetched yet (so local did not know that the branch existed on the remote and I would get the error: the requested upstream branch 'origin/remotebranchname' does not exist). In the Branches popup, choose New Branch or right-click the current branch in the Branches pane of the Git tool window and choose New Branch from branch name. When cloning a remote repository, the master tracks the remote.
#Git create new branch with remote tracking code
Just provide the name of your new branch and VS Code will create the branch and switch. The default local main branch created by Git is named master, which is analogous to SVNs trunk. Option -r causes the remote-tracking branches to be listed, and option -a shows both local and remote branches. Instead, you can push an existing local branch and thereby publish it on a remote repository. 1 dev 2 master You can see more information, including which branch another one tracks, using the -vv flag: git branch -vv 1 dev d1a9e5b master commit comment 2 master d1a9e5b commit comment If you try to create a branch before the first commit, you’ll get an error message like: fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'. In a somewhat related way I was trying to add a remote tracking branch to an existing branch, but did not have access to that remote repository on the system where I wanted to add that remote tracking branch on (because I frequently export a copy of this repo via sneakernet to another system that has the access to push to that remote). The Git: Create Branch command lets you quickly create a new branch. Actually, Git does not allow creating a (new, isolated) branch on a remote repository.
