[PATCH 1/7] Teach remote machinery about core.origin config variable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This introduces a new configuration variable, core.origin, that
defines the name of the default remote to be used. Traditionally, this
is "origin", and could be overridden for a given branch. This change
introduces a way to redefine the default as desired and have that honored
regardless of the currently checked out head (e.g., core.origin is
used when on a detached head or any other non-tracking branch).
