Git: autocomplete my prompt after failed push because missing -u flag
Using git, I often create local branches and then want to push them to the remote (e.g. Github). This requires the -u or --set-upstream flag.
Here is what git outputs without this flag:
$ git checkout -b newbranch
$ git push
fatal: The current branch cross_val has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use
git push --set-upstream origin newbranch
Is there a way to have this suggestion copied to my prompt? So that I don't have to type it. Something like:
$ git checkout -b newbranch
$ git push
fatal: The current branch cross_val has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use
git push --set-upstream origin newbranch
$ <tab>
$ git push --set-upstream origin newbranch
bash git autocomplete

You could set up an alias that pushes the current branch to the remote.
Configure the alias with the following command:
git config --global alias.rpush '!git push --set-upstream origin $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)'
The git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD command returns the name of your current branch. Then run it with:
git rpush
You can choose to give the alias any other name according to your own preference.

I don't think this helps as the git completion scripts are already installed withgit.

Guess it depends on the system. On my linux system it is a separate install and bashrc or profile needs to be updated to take advantage of it.
