You can use the following:

git push <remote_alias> <branch_name>

So in your case, it would probably be:

git push origin master

wouldn't this push the currently checked out branch to origin/master? – Tom Jul 02 '19 at 19:59

If you have already committed your change, then you can push your changes to remote from any branch.

git push origin branch_name

In your case, branch is master.

you could use something like this:

git push git@github.com:bliep/blup.git fork-feature:feature

This will push your local fork-feature branch to the feature branch of the git@github.com:bliep/blup.git repository! I use this to help out colleagues with their PR's sometimes.

If the history of your branch has changed and it is pointing to a different tip of the head, you'll need to do a force push as follows:

git push origin master - - force
