I have only ever used simply "git push". I feel like this is a "how to say that you barely know how to use git without saying that you barely know how to use git" moment:-D.

Normal distribution curve meme makes sense here - experts and noobs can both git push safely (but for different reasons)

I can follow along re-typing the same commands told to me by a more senior dev just like any average monkey!

This reminds me of something I made a long time ago:

Since I am calling myself dumb, I estimate my progress to be somewhere perhaps at the 20th percentile marker? :-D One of these days I'll RTFM and rocket all the way up to be dumb enough to properly qualify for "below average"! :-P

You can default git to using your current branch and a specific upstream so you don't have to put anything after git push

Thanks didn't know that

Has git never told you that you should use git push -u origin when you push a new branch for the first time?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The first time you manually push like that, you can add the -u flag (git push -u origin master) to push and set the branch's default upstream. Afterwards, a plain git push while that branch is checked out will push the branch to that default upstream. This is per-branch, so you can have a main branch that pulls from one repository and a patch branch that pulls and pushes to a different repository.

My strategy is to just type git push and get some kind of error message about upstream not being set or something. That's a signal for me to take a second to think about what I'm actually doing and type the correct command.

That's a signal for me to

... google the error and randomly try stack overflow answers without really understanding them.
