Git pushing to branch on remote repository doesn't work

I have two repositories origin and fork. I cloned origin locally and added fork as a remote repository. I now created a new local branch, e.g.:

git checkout master
git branch new
git checkout new

I made some changes to new and committed them locally. Now, I want to push my new branch to the fork repository. I tried the following:

git push fork new

However, this actually pushes to origin. The new branch is created in origin and not in fork. Why?

Probably your remote 'fork' is pointing to wrong URL. You can get all information about your remote repo using this command:

git remote show <remote_name>

Add to your ~/.gitconfig:

[push]
    default = current
