## NAME

`git-create-branch` - Create branches

## SYNOPSIS

`git-create-branch` [-r|--remote [remote_name]] <branchname>

## DESCRIPTION

Creates local branch named <branchname> and optionally sets up a remote tracking branch.

## OPTIONS

<-r|--remote [remote_name]>

Setup a remote tracking branch using `remote_name`. If `remote_name` is not supplied, use `origin` by default.

<branchname>

The name of the branch to create.

## EXAMPLES

    $ git create-branch integration

    $ git create-branch -r integration

    $ git create-branch -r upstream integration

## NOTES

As of 4.4.0, the default behavior has changed. `git-create-branch` will no longer automatically setup a remote tracking branch unless the `-r|-remote` option is specified.
