Set a Default Push Remote with git
During my early days of git usage, my config allowed me to simply type git push instead of git push {origin} {branch_name} which I need to now. Up until recently I needed to type out the long version...(I know)...which was incredibly annoying because I like using detailed branch names.
I'd finally had enough of the copy and paste branch name madness and decided I wanted git push to always push to my origin and the same branch name:
git config --global push.default current
There are a number of push.default values you can use but in most cases, especially when you have a GitHub workflow, current is likely the value you want to use. Also, since we're using --global, this will be the default for all repositories!

One of my guilty pleasures is scoping out the latest celebrity gossip from PerezHilton.com, DListed.com, and JoBlo.com. Unfortunately, these sites occasionally post NSFW pictures which makes checking these sites on lunch a huge gamble -- a trip to HR's office could be just a click away.

Thanks for sharing, David. That’ll save me considerable time.
Love this one ! Thank you for sharing.
For anyone who doesn’t want to set it local, you can also do git push origin –set-upstream per your local branches: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches
How do you set the default for pull? For an open source fork I have, I want
