git checkout -b add-readme

git push <remote> <branch>
If remote were "origin" and local branch was "feature_x", this would be:
git push origin feature_x

3,129 PointsThis is my first time using this and I assumed hitting the get help button would of attached the question Im having an issue with.
Here is what it is asking me to do.
Let's practice the process of pushing a project to a remote branch on github from start to finish. First, type in a command that will create a new branch named add-readme and automatically switch to it.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsAh the create and switch:
# In two commands
# create branch
$ git branch add-readme
# switch to new branch
$ git checkout add-readme
# combined in one command
# create and switch
$ git checkout -b add-readme
