Git – Remote Branch Read-Only – Local Master

Check Which Branch Is Checked Out

sbogb$ git branch
* bootstrap
 master

Set The Upstream To The Original Author’s Repo and Specific Branch

sbogb$ git remote add -t bootstrap origin-readonly https://github.com/qdouble/angular-webpack2-starter.git

Break the Push to the Source Repo To Make It Clear We Can Not Push

sbogb$ git remote set-url origin-readonly --push "You shall not push"

Fetch the Source Repo/Branch Into The Local Branch

sbogb$ git fetch origin-readonly bootstrap
From https://github.com/qdouble/angular-webpack2-starter
 * branch bootstrap -> FETCH_HEAD
 * [new branch] bootstrap -> origin-readonly/bootstrap

Add a Remote Named origin to the master Branch

sbogb$ git remote add -t master origin ssh://git-codecommit.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/angular-webpack2-bootstrap-starter

Set GIT to Only Push the Current Branch

sbogb$ git config --global push.default simple

First Push of the Current Branch

sbogb$ git push --set-upstream origin master

Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.

Other: Remove A Remote origin

sbogb$ git remote add -t master origin ssh://git-codecommit.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/angular-webpack2-bootstrap-starter
fatal: remote origin already exists.
sbogb$ git remote remove origin
sbogb$

Other: Multiple Upstreams Require Choosing the Upstream

sbogb$ git push
warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value has changed in
Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message
and maintain the traditional behavior, use:

git config --global push.default matching

To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use:

git config --global push.default simple

When push.default is set to 'matching', git will push local branches
to the remote branches that already exist with the same name.

Since Git 2.0, Git defaults to the more conservative 'simple'
behavior, which only pushes the current branch to the corresponding
remote branch that 'git pull' uses to update the current branch.

See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information.
(the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode
'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git)

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

git push --set-upstream origin master

Other: First Push to Upstream will Require Remote

sbogb$ git push
fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

git push --set-upstream origin master
