Git create a new branch with the same name, will it be ported to the same remote?

In git, if I delete the local branch and create a new one with the same name. All commits from the new branch will be transferred to the same remote, as they have the same name. Is it correct?

If you are doing git push origin branchname then yes that is correct.

The caveat is that you will have a different commit history from what happened, so you will need to force push your changes to click the button:

 git push origin branchname -f # or git push origin branchname --force

If you do not, you will receive a message stating that your local branch is behind. Force pressing basically says "hey, origin, take my transaction history and deal with it."
