One of Jessica's prior handling was pushing 'featureA' to the remote 'origin'. Usually in such a cases the remote tracked branch is being presented in branch tree diagrams. This is however not the case for this diagram and 'origin/featureA'. In chapter Git Branching > Remote Branches reader was presented with git push -u ... syntax and learned that in local repository and for branch been pushed it creates remote branch tracking record. See also line 430. So actually 'origin/featureA' should be presented in this diagram too. Diagrams following this one account however for this point.

I wonder if reader is not forced to struggle with this gap in presentation. For this point I am ready to provide PR however zero experience in diagram edition.

Put in other words the confirmation for 'featureA' had been pushed to 'origin' is missing in diagram.

Actually, fact that 'master' is also present on remote 'origin' is shown in no diagram this sub-chapter.

You do have a point, we're not super consistent in these diagrams. However, I'm not sure the update would be worth your effort. Since Jessica is the only one to have pushed to her two branches at this point, there's no meaningful distinction between featureA and origin/featureA. We show the remote branches in the following diagrams because :a: featureB is pushed to origin/featureBee, and :b: other people start pushing to those branches.

My concern is to not raise unnecessary riddles on reader's side. Reader will have enough lot questions to clarify even without such. featureB was pushed to origin/featureBee prior to diagram being addressed in this issue ticket. The point is for points been well established in previous chapters to not become questionable by inaccuracies or non thorough thought gaps in elaboration. This can generate unnecessary efforts on book reader's side.
