Pushing a feature branch remotely in hg

Question

I cloned an hg repo and created a feature branch (via hg branch myfeature). I have staged & committed changes to it via hg add . and then subsequently hg commit -m "My new feature branch.".

I would now like to push those changes (in the branch; not as default) to the remote server (where I cloned the project from) so that other devs can code review the changes in the myfeature branch.

I found a blog that recommends using:

hg push --create-branch-remote

But this isn't working for me - any ideas where I'm going awry?

Answer 1

You forgot to read hg help push for your version of Mercurial

...
    --new-branch            allow pushing a new branch
...

Answer 2

Looks like --new-branch is what I wanted.
