Set the remote branch pushed to by default

I want to setup the push default remote branch for my local branch.

Eg, I want my local branch main to push to origin/master.

I've tried:

git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master

But this only works for fetch / pull. For push, I still need to do:

git push origin main:master

How can I set it up so that I only need to do a simple git push?

Two options:

1. push all the repo's branches to where they get pulled from via push.default
2. Per-branch config via remote.<name>.push

To have all your repo's branches push to the branch that they pull from, use:

git config --local push.default upstream

Note: this will affect other branches, also.

To setup a single branch's remote push pair (Example: local main to origin/master):

1. Set the branch's remote

    git branch --set-upstream-to origin
   

2. Set the remote's push mapping

   git config --local remote.origin.push main:master
