Yes, and I wrote it precisely to address this itch.  git/git is
origin, and artagnon/git is ram.  I just set remote.pushdefault to ram
and continue working as usual.

I apologize for not having thought hard enough about other
push.default modes: I personally use current, and like it very much.
As an added bonus, even new branches created with git checkout -b
hot-branch will get push to go to the right place; no need to set
upstream before pushing.
