In my case it wouldn't because I do not modify my master branch, I just fetch upstream, merge upstream/master into my local master branch and switch to feature-work, then git push origin master will always give me "Everything up-to-date" I suppose (that is what always happen in my case/workflow). And just learned, the answer to my question is, while in feature-work branch, 'git push origin feature-work'. Which does what I wanted. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
