Hey you! Tired of having type all this nonsense just to push up the current git branch?: $ git push origin my-super-long-branch-name Well fear not, just add this simple git alias to push the current branch: pu = !git branch | grep '^\\*' | cut -c3- | xargs git push origin And then just type: $ git pu EDIT: Little did I know there’s a much easier equivalent command $ git push origin HEAD
