I think it is safer to write the last command as:

git push origin kamailio_3.0:kamailio_3.0

To explain the parameters:
 - origin is a shorthand for the remote repository URL

 - the name before the colon (:) is the name of the local branch you
want to push
   into the remote repository (the name after -b in git checkout above)

 - the name after the colon is the name of the branch you either want
to create or
   push to (if it exists) in the remote repository.

I think we should not be using HEAD in such commands because HEADs can
be detached (not referring to any branch).
