Re: Local branch ahead of tracked remote branch but git push claims everything up-to-date

[ir0s <imirene@gmail.com>]

Sorry if you get this twice, oddly my first attempt to send this bounced.
Thank you for all the good advice however, none of it seemed to resolve my
issue.

Attempting to call:
$git push origin mybranch

Results in the same message: Everything up to date =/
I also tried to call $git fetch origin just in case, and doing a pull
doesn't return anything (which makes sense, no one pushed anything to the
branch -- although I seem to be the only one with this issue.)

Could my branch have somehow diverged from the origin remotebranch?
