I see push and pull remotes mentioned a lot here. And I want to find out how much of the problem that can solve. Let’s say you have two remotes ’upstream’ and ’fork’.

Can push and pull remotes be set up in a way so the user can run these bare commands without and additional args or flags:

    git push # push to fork
    git pull # pull from upstream

And if so, will ’git status’ also show the status against upstream?
