The error you're encountering when trying to push your new branch `minimal-pull` is due to an incorrect command. The syntax for pushing a branch to a remote repository is slightly different. Here’s how to correctly push your `minimal-pull` branch to the remote:

1. **Push the branch to the remote repository** with the following command:

git push -u origin minimal-pull

Here, `origin` is the default name for your remote repository. This command sets up the `minimal-pull` branch on the remote and tracks it in your local repository.

2. **Check your remote repository** if you're not sure of its name or existence:

git remote -v

This command will list your configured remote repositories. If you don't see any output, you'll need to add your remote repository with:

git remote add origin <repository-url>

Replace “ with the URL of your remote Git repository.

After executing the correct push command, your branch should be pushed successfully to the remote repository.
