You're not the only one who expects that, which is why the default will be changing in the very near future so that it behaves that way. (The issue has been discussed recently on the main git mailing list, g...@vger.kernel.org.) For now, the default meaning of 'git push' is to push all branches that exist both locally and on the remote. If you want it to instead push the current branch to a branch of the same name on the remote, run "git config --global push.default current". -PJ Gehm's Corollary to Clark's Law: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
