Git Alias To Make Pushing Branches Easy

If you want to push the current branch to the remote origin then you need to type in the following command.

git push -u origin HEAD 

To simplify this, edit your local ~/.gitconfig file and add the following lines (don't add another [alias] if you already have one).

[alias]
        mr = push -u origin HEAD

With this in place you can push your currently checked out branch to the origin using the command.

git mr
