Changing the Git remote 'push to' default

Question

I want to change the Git default remote branch destination so I could just

git push

Instead of:

git push upstream
         


        

Answer 1

To change which upstream remote is "wired" to your branch, use the git branch command with the upstream configuration flag.

Ensure the remote exists first:

git remote -vv

Set the preferred remote for the current (checked out) branch:

git branch --set-upstream-to

Validate the branch is setup with the correct upstream remote:

git branch -vv
