stop git push from pushing to multiple branches
<p>I created a new branch (<code>tags</code>), checked it out, and whenever I push changes I use <code>git push origin tags</code>. However, the pushed changes are effecting both the <code>master</code> branch and the <code>tags</code> branch in my remote repo.</p>

<p>I'm sure I've got the <code>tags</code> branch checked out (verified with <code>git status</code>). Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm a git newbie and so I'm not sure what I might need to include in this post to help with the diagnosis, let me know if I should include something specific.</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>
