Can you push codes from one branch to another, a different downstream to a different upstream

Question

I am working on a different branch in my local machine, but I want to push the codes to a different branch upstream. How can this be done. I am trying to push to nicholas-dev
This is the error message I am getting

C:\Users\njoca\Documents\BoTest\boegisexternal (dev-samuel -> origin)
λ git push nicholas-dev
fatal: 'nicholas-dev' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

You need to use:

git push origin dev-samuel:nicholas-dev

where origin is the name of the remote, dev-samuel the name of the local branch, and nicholas-dev the name of the branch on the remote.

Thanks, It is showing I pushed the codes to the branch, but I cannot see my commit or codes on the branch – Joca May 05 '21 at 11:04
@Joca Impossible to say really what's happening with that info. – ruohola May 05 '21 at 11:23
