push.default set to matching with multiple remote repositories

Recall that:

git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git //Set a new remote

git remote -v //Verify new remote

origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)

Onto local branches, we can set a default policy for git push and git pull configuring the parameter push.default. For example one policy is matching:

git config --global push.default matching

as result, every time we execute git push, this will push all name-matching branches of the local repository to the remote repository origin.

Question

If there are more remotes (i.e. not only origin) how the policy matching apply?

No, git push will not push all matching branches. If you push a branch and you do not have configured or given to what it should be pushed, this branch will be pushed to a name-matching branch. If you do git push --all it will push all to either the configured push location or otherwise to name-matching branches. But no matter what you also either have configured to which remote to push or you give it on the commandline e. g. with git push --all origin. The push.default setting only cares about matching branchnames. It does not care about selecting which remote to push to.
