How do I find my local remote branch?
Use git branch -a (both local and remote branches) or git branch -r (only remote branches) to see all the remotes and their branches. You can then do a git checkout -t remotes/repo/branch to the remote and create a local branch.
How do I push a local branch to remote?

What is a git branch?
A branch represents an independent line of development. ... The git branch command lets you create, list, rename, and delete branches.

How do I set up Mystream branch?
The easiest way to set the upstream branch is to use the “git push” command with the “-u” option for upstream branch. Alternatively, you can use the “–set-upstream” option that is equivalent to the “-u” option. As an example, let's say that you created a branch named “branch” using the checkout command.
