You can default git to using your current branch and a specific upstream so you don't have to put anything after git push

Has git never told you that you should use git push -u origin <branch> when you push a new branch for the first time?

[–] PoolloverNathan 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The first time you manually push like that, you can add the -u flag (git push -u origin master) to push and set the branch's default upstream. Afterwards, a plain git push while that branch is checked out will push the branch to that default upstream. This is per-branch, so you can have a main branch that pulls from one repository and a patch branch that pulls and pushes to a different repository.

My strategy is to just type git push and get some kind of error message about upstream not being set or something. That's a signal for me to take a second to think about what I'm actually doing and type the correct command.

That's a signal for me to

... google the error and randomly try stack overflow answers without really understanding them.
