I have a remote repository and a local repo. I did a git fetch --all and see the branch I want in the local repo, I think create a local tracking branch:
git checkout -t -b bug1000 origin/user/bug/1000
My problem is the pull's are correct, but push's are not setup:
>$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: XXX
Push URL: XXX
HEAD branch: master
Remote branches:
maint tracked
master tracked
user/bug/1000 tracked
user/bug/1001 tracked
user/bug/1002 tracked
Local branches configured for 'git pull':
bug1000 merges with remote user/bug/1000
maint merges with remote maint
master merges with remote master
Local refs configured for 'git push':
maint pushes to maint (local out of date)
master pushes to master (local out of date)
My .git/config looks correct:
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
url = XXX
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "maint"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/maint
[branch "bug1000"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/user/bug/1000
I have already tried git push -u origin bug1000:user/bug/1000 but it doesn't change anything.
This is using git 1.7.10.2 (latest stable as of writing).
You can add a push entry for that remote, but if you have a lot of these, that might get cumbersome:
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
url = XXX
push = refs/heads/bug1000:refs/heads/user/bug/1000
If you added another virtual "directory" and used bug/1000 locally instead of bug1000, then the push config could be push = refs/heads/bug/*:refs/heads/user/bug/*, which might be cleaner in the long run.
