Why do I need to do `--set-upstream` all the time?

Question

I create a new branch in Git:

git branch my_branch

Push it:

git push origin my_branch

Now say someone mad

Answer 1

We use phabricator and don't push using git. I had to create bash alias which works on Linux/mac

vim ~/.bash_aliases

new_branch() {
    git checkout -b "$1"
    git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master "$1"
}

save

source ~/.bash_aliases
new_branch test #instead of git checkout -b test
git pull
