This is what the remote looks like. 

--C0--------------C4--  (master) 
      \
       --C1-C2-C3--     (lite_main)

Actions I took:

  1. cloned the remote repo
  2. checked out lite_main
  3. made some changes and committed them

Results from git reflog:

27f07f4 HEAD@{0}: commit: ADDING ICON FILES TO FILE SYSTEM
445ef4b HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from master to lite_main
f9cccc0 HEAD@{2}: clone: from git@bitbucket.org:username/somerepo.git

Results of git branch -a to try to show the tracked branches:

* lite_main
  master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/lite_main
  remotes/origin/master

(I don’t really know how to read this buy I’m guessing the only traced branch is my local origin/master is tracked to the remotes/origin/HEAD…is that right?)

Now my local repo looks like this:

--C0--------------C4--  (master) 
      \
       --C1-C2-C3-C5--     (lite_main)

How do I make my remote look like what I have locally? Will pushing lite_main to origin do it?

    All you have to do is:

    git push origin lite_main

    Additionally, if you want to track the remote when creating the branch you can run the command (when creating the branch) git checkout --track -b <local branch> <remote>/<tracked branch>

    Example git checkout --track -b foo remote/foo
