Automatically push current branch to remote and track at the same time.

git-push-set-upstream.sh

# Call `git push --set-upstream` with current branch to a remote, defaulting to origin.
# Pass the remote as the first argument after the alias.
# Ensure confirm.sh is in your path.

# Usage: git psu [remote]

# Example:
#   git remote add new-remote git@url...
#   git checkout -b my-branch
#   git psu new-remote
#   -> Push new branch my-branch to new-remote?
#   # Type any combination of yes, sure, ok
#   -> git push --set-upstream new-remote my-branch

# Inline
git config alias.psu '![[ "" != $(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null) ]] && branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) && remote=${1:-origin} && source confirm.sh && confirm "Push new branch $branch to $remote?" && git push --set-upstream $remote $branch'

# In gitconfig

    psu = ![[ '' != $(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null) ]] && branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) && remote=${1:-origin} && source confirm.sh && confirm "Push new branch $branch to $remote?" && git push --set-upstream $remote $branch
