Hello, I've got confusing behavior and the cause was somewhat hard to discover: -- 8< -- $ git status On branch linux Your branch is ahead of 'vendor/jps2rin_arm' by 2 commits. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working tree clean $ git push Everything up-to-date $ git status On branch linux Your branch is ahead of 'vendor/jps2rin_arm' by 2 commits. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working tree clean $ git branch -vv * linux e8906f9 [vendor/jps2rin_arm: ahead 2] Linux: get rid of unused files master 4d1f931 [origin/master] Linux: add README and config -- 8< -- What's going on here? Why 'git status' and 'git branch' both insist there are 2 unpushed commits yet 'git push' does nothing? Let's try to figure: -- 8< -- $ git push -v Pushing to /var/local/group/firmware/git/jps2rin To /var/local/group/firmware/git/jps2rin = [up to date] linux -> linux updating local tracking ref 'refs/remotes/origin/linux' Everything up-to-date -- 8< -- So it pushes branch 'linux' to 'linux' at /var/local/group/firmware/git/jps2rin where everything is already published... And this push destination doesn't match 'vendor/jps2rin_arm' to which both 'git status' and 'git branch -vv' refer, so that's where the difference is! Here is actual branch configuration: -- 8< -- $ git config --get-regexp branch[.]linux branch.linux.remote vendor branch.linux.merge jps2rin_arm branch.linux.pushremote origin branch.linux.rebase preserve $ git remote -v origin /var/local/group/firmware/git/jps2rin (fetch) origin /var/local/group/firmware/git/jps2rin (push) vendor ssh://git@git/gis/Justin2 (fetch) vendor ssh://git@git/gis/Justin2 (push) -- 8< -- So, finally, it's 'branch.linux.pushremote' that is the "offender". Looks like both 'git status' and 'git branch -vv' should somehow learn about 'branch.<name>.pushremote' feature so that their output/suggestions make more sense? By the way, is there a simpler/better way to print entire configuration of a [current] branch? More human-readable? Including "branch.<name>.description"? $ git --version git version 2.20.0.1.g8ad5d13 -- Sergey
