Accepted Answer

Git is distributed and works locally for most of its operations; it doesn't matter whether the remote exists when you make your branches or commits locally. It just has to exist when you make the push.

So you can add the remote repository, and then push your branch to it. The branch will get created remotely if it doesn't exist.

```
git remote add github-repo https://github.com/myaccountname/project.git
git push github-repo issue_fix
```
