How to change a local branch tracking to Different remote in Git

In this tutorial, we will learn how to change a local branch tracking to a different remote in git.

Change tracking

We can change a local branch tracking to a new remote by using the git push command followed by -u flag and origin your-branch-name.

Example:

git push -u origin dev

dev is my local branch name.

The -u flag sets the upstream (tracking) reference to a remote branch.
