Do you always have to do origin master? I've seen it where sometimes just git push works and other times not.
I was being more evil than that, saying that if one is gonna push direct to
main, might as well maximize the possible damage to everyone else's branch.Lol why not just delete the whole project from GitHub... I mean, everyone has a copy, right?😱
where it Just Works, the branch is set up to track a remote branch

uh in any actual company you almost never push to origin master. so I think it's a joke.
Not with that attitude! /s
Force push Fridays!
Depends on the configuration right?
You can work on your branch and then push that to integration for example.
I mean you're not working on your local master/main branch right?
In most actually companies you can try push to origin master, but it'll likely get rejected by the repo's security policies.

I tired that, still was having issues, weeeird.
push origin your/branch
Pushes, you guessed it, your/branch!
Head is usually your checked out working branch if you're not in a headless state, right?
Force push main, straight to jail🤣
Yup yup, usually you're on a branch, sometimes a tag. I mean it's all just pointers to references at the end of the day. I tend to treat Git like a story book, some folks still act like it's SVN.
I think it depends what branch your local version of the repo is set to. If you're already in master then it'll push there, if you're in a testing branch then you can push it straight to master instead by telling it to
I just meant it not auto creating a new matching named branch.
That’s part of the joke, I think. If it’s a repo more than just you use, you would almost never push directly to the main branch.
