Git: which is the default configured remote for branch?

by

You can do it more simply, guaranteeing that your .gitconfig is left in a meaningful state:

Using Git version v1.8.0 and above

git push -u hub master when pushing, or:
git branch -u hub/master

OR

(This will set the remote for the currently checked-out branch to hub/master)
git branch --set-upstream-to hub/master

OR

(This will set the remote for the branch named branch_name to hub/master)
git branch branch_name --set-upstream-to hub/master

If you’re using v1.7.x or earlier

you must use --set-upstream:
git branch --set-upstream master hub/master
