g-push which is alias for

git push origin `git branch --show`

Which I'm writing on my phone without testing or looking

git config --global alias.pusho 'push --set-upstream origin HEAD'

You're welcome.

So that's making git push always push to the current branch?

When you're pushing a new branch you've never pushed before you need the -u command. That's what this alias is for.

As long as the config's push.default isn't matching, git push without arguments will only push the current branch.

git push origin HEAD is a slightly shorter way of doing the same thing, even though you have an alias anyway lol
