How can I configure git to default push my current branch to the origin? [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way to configure git to default push my current branch to the origin?

E.g., I want to do:

git push origin

And have it push whatever branch I've currently checked out to the upstream origin.

Answer 1

Set push.default to tracking.

$ git config --global push.default tracking

Now git push pushes only the branch you're currently on, assume an upstream branch has been configured (see git branch --set-upstream).
