At first I was put aback by this, but it actually kinda makes sense. I mean, if people are giving off unwarranted advises about "the right way" here, yeah, you should start with a remote branch, and push all your work ASAP. Especially when you are closing the lid of your laptop to change location.
...Not that I am gonna follow that advice, of course. Same as I'm not gonna use git switch for a task git checkout does perfectly well.
