创建新的 git 分支并跟踪或设置新分支的上游

Question

Ie: what's the equivalent of these:

git checkout -b my_new_local_branch # create a new local branch
git push --set-upstream origin my_new_local_branch # track / set upstream the new local branch to remote repo

but with one command?

Answer 1

This is configurable via the push.autoSetupRemote setting. The --set-upstream command will be given for you when you push. You will still need two commands, because making a branch and pushing it are very different things (and you wouldn't want them to be the same thing).
