I've been following the upgrade rails application workshop and cant push my commits through git after making a branch!

Im not sure whats going on, but I have made multiple commits after my branch was created to indicate a new version of rails as the video instructs, but github will not log my progress as previously done.

For future reference. Your master branch is where the final code would go, usually you use this:

git push origin master

For a branch called sample, you would push your code like this:

git push origin sample

This way, until you are ready to merge the changes in sample to your master branch, you can push your code and be ok.
