Hi all, at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#_description it says:
When neither the command-line nor the configuration specify what to push, the default behavior is used, which corresponds to the simple value for push.default: the current branch is pushed to the corresponding upstream branch, but as a safety measure, the push is aborted if the upstream branch does not have the same name as the local one.
However, on a branch which does *not* have an upstream branch configured, the command
git push <remote_name>
doesn't use the local branch name as default, but fails with an error instead:
fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch. To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use git push --set-upstream <remote_name> master
Note that it *does* work if the remote branch name is explicitly specified:
git push <remote_name> <branch_name>
But shouldn't this also work without having to explicitly specify the remote branch name, and default to the local branch name instead?
