This is the configuration for remote "dreamhost". In your previous mail you also mentioned a remote "linus".

This fetches the branches from the remote and stores them locally as remote tracking branches "dreamhost/". > push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/linus/* This "renames" your branches when you push. Your local branches get pushed to "dreamhost" and are stored there as remote branches "linus/". From your previous mail I assume you like to store them as normal branches. You'd need to say push = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* But most likely you don't want to force here, that is drop '+'. And you don't need to explicitly say that you want to store a branch under the same name. So, probably you want push = refs/heads/* But maybe you could even drop the push line completely. Then, only existing branches would be pushed and if you want to create a new remote branch on "dreamhost" you'd need to explicitly tell git with git push dreamhost Does this help? Steffen
