I'd like to use just: git push or at most: git push origin rather than having to first check which is the active branch with `git branch --list`, then type: git push origin At [1] and [2] I've seen that if I do this once: git push -u origin then from then on I can use just `git push` _for that branch_. However, I don't want to do this "setup" step for each branch, because it's extra work that I also may forget to do. Why is this "setup" step necessary and can I avoid it? Thanks, Stefan [1] http://stackoverflow.com/q/19312622 [2] http://stackoverflow.com/q/6529136 ``` ## Stefan Monov, 2016-12-22 21:18 Subject: Re: Making it possible to do “git push origin” instead of “git push origin ”, without having to one-time prepare each branch for it Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAJtFkWuypdH%2BikdXL%3D-DXOx-8F%2B34nV3phqO2jTGoqtnM7%3DDZA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Also, if I do the "setup" step (`push -u`) for a branch that doesn't exist yet (neither on my PC nor on the server), does that remove the need to do `git checkout -b ` first?
