      Disclaimer: I can't select 3.3.4 in version when creating this issue. Please move it to the right place if able.

      When pushing new local branches to remote using the Push button, I have to multiclick on a checkbox or else I have an error:

      The Remote branch '' (Local branch = 'mybranch') is invalid. Ref names must follow git ref-format rules:

Completed with errors, see above.

            Remote branch is not available for newly created local branch, that’s why we don’t see any branch name in commit section:

            In push dialog, user need to check the newly created branch checkbox:

            once user check the newly created local branch, it’s local branch name become the remote branch name:

            So, Just update to the latest version of Sourcetree.

            For a reason I don't have, colleagues of mine were proposed to upgrade to newer versions by the app.
            I was stuck at a 3.3.4 version even when triggering a ping to see if there is a newer version or not.

            So I uninstalled the version I had and try to download SourceTreeForWindows again.

            Magic happened: version 3.3.6 now installed and this bug is ancient time for me.

            Hope that helps people from comments above.

            I know that this is market as low priority but this may throw away new users that installed for the first time Sourcetree.
