Different default remote for push and pull

Can I set it so that pull always pulls from upstream and push always pushes to origin unless specified otherwise.

P.S. - I don't want a different push and pull (set-url) for a specific remote but rather different default remotes.

Edit - Check Postscript before reporting it duplicate.

Solution

  • UPDATE - just realized you said default remote

    You can set remote.pushDefault to the remote you want to push to. Branch tracking settings would still determine the default behavior of pull I believe.

    Original answer which works per-branch

    You can set the config option branch.<name>.remote to the remote you want to pull from, and set branch.<name>.pushRemote to the remote you want to push to.
