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

       With no remote preference set:

           # creates local branch 'integration'
           $ git create-branch integration

           # creates local & remote branch 'integration' (on default 'origin')
           $ git create-branch -r integration

           # creates local & remote branch 'integration' on 'upstream'
           $ git create-branch -r upstream integration

       With git-extras.create-branch.remote preference set to 'lucinda':

           # creates local & remote branch 'integration' (on preference 'lucinda')
           $ git create-branch integration

           # overriding preference, using default `-r` of 'origin'
           # creates local & remote branch 'integration' on default 'origin'
           $ git create-branch -r integration

           # overriding preference, using specified `-r` of 'upstream'
           # creates local & remote branch 'integration' on 'upstream'
           $ git create-branch -r upstream integration

git-create-branch - Create branches

       •   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. See additional note  on  preference
           feature in 4.8.0-dev below.

       •   As  of  4.8.0-dev, the remote option can be set via gitconfig preference as described in Preferences
           section.

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

       <--from [start_point]>

       Setup  a  start  point  when  the  branch  created.  If --from is not supplied, use the current branch by
       default.

       <branchname>

       The name of the branch to create.

       You may save your default preference for the remote option  above  by  using  gitconfig  with  the  key
       git-extras.create-branch.remote  whose  value  will  be  the  default  remote  when  [-r|--remote] is not
       specified.

           $ git config git-extras.create-branch.remote lucinda

       The command line option -r|--remote will override this preference.
