Example
General syntax
git push <remotename> <object>:<remotebranchname>
Example
git push origin master:wip-yourname
Will push your master branch to the wip-yourname branch of origin (most of the time, the repository you cloned from).
Delete remote branch
Deleting the remote branch is the equivalent of pushing an empty object to it.
git push <remotename> :<remotebranchname>
Example
git push origin :wip-yourname
Will delete the remote branch wip-yourname
Instead of using the colon, you can also use the --delete flag, which is better readable in some cases.
Example
git push origin --delete wip-yourname
Push a single commit
If you have a single commit in your branch that you want to push to a remote without pushing anything else, you can use the following
git push <remotename> <commit SHA>:<remotebranchname>
Example
Assuming a git history like this
eeb32bc Commit 1 - already pushed
347d700 Commit 2 - want to push
e539af8 Commit 3 - only local
5d339db Commit 4 - only local
to push only commit 347d700 to remote master use the following command
git push origin 347d700:master
