'[<branchname>]@\{upstream\}', e.g. 'master@\{upstream\}', '@\{u\}':: |
|
|
|
|
The suffix '@\{upstream\}' to a branchname (short form '<branchname>@\{u\}') |
|
|
|
|
refers to the branch that the branch specified by branchname is set to build on |
|
|
|
|
top of (configured with `branch.<name>.remote` and |
|
|
|
|
`branch.<name>.merge`). A missing branchname defaults to the |
|
|
|
|
current one. These suffixes are also accepted when spelled in uppercase, and |
|
|
|
|
they mean the same thing no matter the case. |
|
|
|
|
A branch B may be set up to build on top of a branch X (configured with |
|
|
|
|
`branch.<name>.merge`) at a remote R (configured with |
|
|
|
|
`branch.<name>.remote`). B@{u} refers to the remote-tracking branch for |
|
|
|
|
the branch X taken from remote R, typically found at `refs/remotes/R/X`. |

|
|
|
|
|
'[<branchname>]@\{push\}', e.g. 'master@\{push\}', '@\{push\}':: |
|
|
|
|
The suffix '@\{push}' reports the branch "where we would push to" if |
|
|
|
|
`git push` were run while `branchname` was checked out (or the current |
|
|
|
|
`HEAD` if no branchname is specified). Since our push destination is |
|
|
|
|
in a remote repository, of course, we report the local tracking branch |
|
|
|
|
that corresponds to that branch (i.e., something in `refs/remotes/`). |
|
|
|
|
`HEAD` if no branchname is specified). Like for '@\{upstream\}', we report |
|
|
|
|
the remote-tracking branch that corresponds to that branch at the remote. |
