How can I config my git for pushing?

Every time, when I want to push, I use this command:

$ git push

And it throws this error:

fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin master

And the error will be gone when I use this command:

$ git push origin master

Ok, I can always use this ^ command, but I want to knon, can I say to git, {when I say push, I mean push origin master} once forever?

Once you give your local branch an upstream

git push --set-upstream origin master

then after that, the following will "just work"

git push

You only have to do the first command if the remote branch does not already exist.

To check if you are already tracking a remote branch you can type

git branch -vv

Then it will list something like

master    abcd123 [origin/master] Some commit message

Then you can see that your local master branch is tracking the remote origin/master branch.

or you can use short version of this notation:

git push --set-upstream origin <REMOTE_NAME>

git push -u origin <REMOTE_NAME>

git needs to know which remote branch you are trying to push your code to.
