Pushing a local branch up to GitHub

I have Git configured so that when I run git push, it pushes changes to my GitHub repo. Until now I have only had a master branch.

However, I have now created a local branch and committed to it using:

git checkout -b my_new_branch
git commit

What I would like to do now is push my changes on this branch to GitHub. Do I just do a git push?

When I first set it up I did run:

git config push.default current

git github git-push

If you've configured your git to push to your GitHub master repo, no matter in with branch you are, it will push to your GitHub master repo.

Bear in mind that, if many developers are working in the same repository, you could get a conflict.
