Something like: git push <remote_name> <branch_name>: (invalid refspec) Note the remote side is missing, so git doesn't know where to push to. > Note that it *does* work if the remote branch name is explicitly specified: > > > git push <remote_name> <branch_name> In that case git assumes you mean <branch_name>:<branch_name>. Sounds like you want to change the default to `push.default=current`. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
