Push all commits of a branch individually, one after one

Question

Is there an easy way to push all commits of a feature branch (starting from, say, master) individually, one after one, so that each commit triggers a push hook on the remote side? This is useful for "test-first" scenarios when you implement and commit first a failing test and then a fix.

I know I can do git push sha:remote-ref-name, but it's tedious to do manually.

This script should work:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -d .git ]; then
    echo "$(basename $0): not a git directory." 1>&2
    exit 1
fi

# lbranch - name of local branch
# remote  - name of remote
# rbranch - name of remote branch
lbranch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
remote=$(git config branch.${lbranch}.remote)
rbranch=$(git config branch.${lbranch}.merge)
rbranch=${rbranch/refs\/heads\//}

for rev in $(git rev-list --reverse ${lbranch} --not --remotes);
do
    git push ${remote} ${rev}:${rbranch}
done
