git-create-branch: Create a branch locally and on upstream (through forks).
$ git create-branch --remote upstream ${branch_name}
try on your machine

This command is not a native Git command. Perhaps it is a custom or a third-party command specific to the user's Git configuration or workflow.

However, based on its structure, it seems to be a command used to create a new branch in a Git repository using a remote named "upstream" with the specified branch name as the argument (${branch_name}).

The "--remote upstream" part indicates that the branch will be created in the "upstream" remote repository. The "upstream" is usually used when working with a forked repository, where "upstream" refers to the original repository that was forked.

Therefore, the command is likely used to create a new branch in the upstream remote repository with the name specified by ${branch_name}.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
