Use the name of the current branch when pushing by default as the name of the remote branch.

• Use git config push.default current to set the name of the remote branch to the one of the current local branch as the default.
• You can use the --global flag to configure this option globally.

git config [--global] push.default current

git config --global push.default current

git checkout -b my-branch
git push -u
# Pushes to origin/my-branch
