How to push without use git's command

After merging one branch into another, (like develop into master) with git merge --no-ff develop

If you execute the git command git status in a terminal just after you will see:

 On branch master
 Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commits.
   (use "git push" to publish your local commit)
 
 nothing to commit, working tree clean

Which is not much different from that (if we look without paying attention):

 On branch master
 nothing to commit, working tree clean

Sometimes I do not pay much attention and I forget to push. So is there an command to know if we must push? or a way to color the Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commits. part in red?

or may be just a command that return 0 or 1 if we need to push, if yes I could include it with an echo routine in a git alias to make my git status more explicit.

Finally, I resolved it by putting this in my ~/.gitconfig:

[alias]
    st = "!f() { git status -u;                                          \
         git status -u | grep \"Your branch is ahead\" > /dev/null       \
         && echo \"\\e[31m[WARNING]\\e[91m You need to push :)\"; }; f"

Like that just by performing git st I will be warned by a red message if I need to push.
