Git Push Current

Today I learned that the message

fatal: The current branch brunch has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin brunch

Can be avoided by setting push.default to current. This can be done with the following command.

git config --global push.default current

As creating a remote branch is rarely an issue, this seems to me a much better default setting.
