What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) Created a branch "feature/macos_tests", pushed to remote as "origin/feature/macos_tests".

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) remote branch "feature/macos_tests" to be created.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) remote branch name is "Feature/macos_tests" (capitalised). This doesn't play nicely with not case sensitive macos FS.

[Enabled Hooks] pre-push (remark: reproduced also when uninstalling this hook)

Raw output:

~ $ cd bosch/rlcore (base) 12:11:42 ~/b/rlcore (feature/macos_tests|✚2) $ git push (base) 12:11:49 fatal: The current branch feature/macos_tests has no upstream branch. To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin feature/macos_tests

To have this happen automatically for branches without a tracking upstream, see 'push.autoSetupRemote' in 'git help config'.
