Manually creating upstream branches on push can be a tedious task. Luckily, Git provides a way to automate this process. You can use `git config` to enable automatic upstream branch creation on push:
Manually creating upstream branches on push can be a tedious task. Luckily, Git provides a way to automate this process. You can use `git config` to enable **automatic upstream branch creation on push**:
```shell
git config [--global] --add --bool push.autoSetupRemote true
# Syntax: git config [--global] --add --bool push.autoSetupRemote true
git config --global --add --bool push.autoSetupRemote true
# `git push` will automatically create new branches, if they don't exist
git checkout -b my-branch
git push
# Pushes to origin/my-branch
```
Using `push.autoSetupRemote` will automatically create a new branch on the remote repository, if it doesn't exist. Workflows that benefit most from this setup are ones where local branches are expected to have the same name as their remote counterparts. You can use the `--global` flag to enable this setting globally on your machine.
