Create a branch from another branch without tracking it.

Question

Usually I create a branch like this:

git checkout branch
git checkout -b new_branch

It works well because it does not automatically set the branch upstream, so it shows me a warning to click to configure upstream. I usually copy it, and then correctly track the remote branch ...

That said it was rather cumbersome ...

So I started using a new method to reduce the number of steps:

git checkout -b new_branch from_branch

Unfortunately, this gives me this result:

git checkout -b xxx origin/staging
Branch xxx set up to track remote branch staging from origin.
...

So when I try to click, it gives me this error:

fatal: The upstream branch of your current branch does not match

Obviously, the upstream is not the one I wanted ... I would prefer it to automatically add the start / xxx or not upstream at all.

What can you do instead?

As you have discovered, the parameter --no-trackwill create a branch without upstream.

Another option:

You can create an orphan branch (a branch without a story), and then use the cherry pick to add the whole story you want to it.

git checkout --orphan <new_branch> [<sha-1>]

Now you clear the story, and you can add any commit you want.
