For example: git push origin master:master However, I will often make a typo like this: git push origin master:msater I was thinking that it would be nice for git to support a new option/config value: --no-create-branch (push.createbranch). This configuration variable would forbid git from creating new remote branches, unless overriden with --create-branch. Does anyone think this would be worth implementing? I'd like to take the pulse of the community before I start making any modifications. Thanks, Rob Hoelz ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2012-04-19 00:46 Subject: Re: Adding a new option to git-push: --(no-)create-branch Message-ID: <7vk41cim4i.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vk41cim4i.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <4F8F3A25.1080407@hoelz.ro> ``` Rob Hoelz writes: > However, I will often make a typo like this: > > git push origin master:msater Why isn't "git push origin master" explicit enough? ``` ## Rob Hoelz, 2012-04-19 06:40 Subject: Re: Adding a new option to git-push: --(no-)create-branch Message-ID: <20120419084056.1a8c1540@hoelz.ro> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20120419084056.1a8c1540%40hoelz.ro In-Reply-To: <7vk41cim4i.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` I suppose it would be...I may just need to retrain my fingers! =) On Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:46:53 -0700 Junio C Hamano wrote: > Rob Hoelz writes: > > > However, I will often make a typo like this: > > > > git push origin master:msater > > Why isn't "git push origin master" explicit enough? > ```
