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

I sort of re-discovered legit because of this issue (OS X only). Now all I use when branching are these two commands:

legit publish [] Publishes specified branch to the remote. (alias: pub)

legit unpublish Removes specified branch from the remote. (alias: unp)

SublimeGit comes with legit support by default, which makes whole branching routine as easy as pressing Ctrl-b.
