Hi, assume I have a branch "foo" in my local repo, a remote "srv", and a branch "bar" on srv (i.e. generated with "git push srv foo:bar"). Now I want to make "foo" a tracking branch for "bar". I do: git config branch.foo.remote srv git config branch.foo.merge refs/heads/bar And to get a comfortable git-push, I do: git config --add remote.srv.push foo:bar Because I do not always remember the sequence, I have to look it up or I just do git checkout -b foo2 srv/bar git branch -d foo git branch -m foo which is suboptimal because deleting foo can remove some other settings for the branch, e.g. mergeoptions. So I wonder if there is some easier-to-remind way to let my branch foo track my remote branch bar, or, if not, could it be useful to have something like git push --make-tracking srv foo:bar # push foo -> bar and let foo track bar... # if foo already tracks bar, ignore the option or should I just write a tiny script for me and shut up? :-) Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@xxxxxxx>, PGP 0x6EDDD207FCC5040F -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
