RE: Simple shortcut for "git push --set-upstream origin newBranchName"

[Cliff Schomburg <clisc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I gave this a try and it seems not to be behaving as expected:

>git push -u
fatal: The current branch {branchName} has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin {branchName}

I'm using Git for Windows in a Windows CMD prompt, if that matters at all.

Thanks,m
Cliff

Thanks, Patryk.  It's always nice to see the feature I want is already implemented!  😊

I think most people will agree, considering it already works this way :)

The default behaviour of git push changed in Git 2.0, perhaps you were reading some old tutorial. You can configure it to match your preferences by changing push.default value in your git config:
