How To Push And Set An Upstream Branch In Git
I like to use hub, and mainly for creating pull requests in the console. To do so you have push and set an upstream branch: git push -u origin CURRENT_BRANCH_NAME. I found myself calling the remote branch the same as my local branch which became tedious so I created a shortcut: git pu.
Basic command
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD | xargs git push -u origin
Git alias
git config --global alias.pu \
'!sh -c "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD | xargs git push -u origin"'
