git push.default upstream branch

When looking at the options for the push.default value, I noticed that "upstream" was one of the possible actions.

upstream - push the current branch to its upstream branch (tracking is a deprecated synonym for this). With this, git push will update the same remote ref as the one which is merged by git pull, making push and pull symmetrical.

I wanted to make sure that my local branches were "pointing" to the right remote branches. The command to find that out is git remote show origin.

Sample output

  HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
    1.65
    1.66
    master
  Remote branches:
    1.65   tracked
    1.66   tracked
    master tracked
  Local branches configured for 'git pull':
    1.65   merges with remote 1.65
    1.66   merges with remote 1.66
    master merges with remote master
  Local refs configured for 'git push':
    1.65   pushes to 1.65   (up to date)
    1.66   pushes to 1.66   (up to date)
    master pushes to master (up to date)
