How to create an upstream branch automatically?
git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true
To create an upstream branch for your local branches automatically when you push use git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true. The next time you push a newly created branch, an upstream branch will be created for you.
The --global flag will enable automatic upstream branches for all your git repositories.
git checkout -b test
Switched to a new branch 'test'
git push
fatal: The current branch test has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use
git push --set-upstream origin test
To have this happen automatically for branches without a tracking
upstream, see 'push.autoSetupRemote' in 'git help config'.
git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true
git push
