We are working on full implementation of triangular workflow feature.
For now, the main options available are:
- branch.<name>.pushRemote
- remote.pushDefault
And only setable by hands.
As it can be difficult to understand, here is what we want to do.
Context:
- One main remote repository, e.g. git/git.
- A remote fork (e.g. a GitHub fork) of git/git, e.g. me/git.
- A local clone of me/git on the machine
Purposes:
- the local branch master has to fetch to git/git by default
- the local branch master has to push to me/git by default
Configuration wanted:
- Add a remote to git/git e.g. `git remote add ...`
- Set the fetch remote for branch as default.
For now, we can do that by setting:
- branch.<name>.remote to git/git
- branch.<name>.pushRemote to me/git
But many options set `branch.<name>.remote`, a suitable solution is to
implement an option for the fetch for example.
Here is what we want to implement:
1.
a. add the config var: remote.fetchDefault
b. add the config var: branch.<name>.fetchRemote
c. add `git fetch --set-default` in order to set remote.fetchDefault
d. add `git fetch --set-remote` in order to set branch.<name>.fetchRemote
e. add `git pull --set-default` in order to set remote.fetchDefault
f. add `git pull --set-remote` in order to set branch.<name>.fetchRemote
2.
a. add `git push --set-default` in order to set remote.pushDefault
b. add `git push --set-remote` in order to set branch.<name>.pushRemote
