Creating new branch and update with new files in existing repository

Hi I’m new to git. I am working in a startup company for the last couple of months. Our previous developers created & dumped in gitlab project. Now after 4 months of development we want to upload our code in a sub branch. I’ve created a branch but it copies old code from master. I’m unable to replace all the code from my local machine to remote. Is there any way I can dump my code in a separate branch in that repository? I’m tried of surfing the internet for a solution. Please help me. :disappointed:
