Hi all, This is more of a suggestion than a bug report. I create new topic branches quite frequently and push them into the remote repo (origin). It's a bit of a hassle to type "git push -set-upstream origin newBranchName" each and every time I want to push a new branch. I'm proposing a shortcut for this command. Perhaps "git push -default" or "git push -new-branch" which could be shortened to "git push -d" or "git push -nb" or something. Based on the man-page for push, it looks like this could be an alias for: "git push -set-upstream origin HEAD" In which case HEAD should always be the current branch name. Thoughts? Concerns? Thanks, Cliff
