checkout.defaultRemote::
|
||
|
|
When you run 'git checkout <something>'
|
||
|
|
or 'git switch <something>' and only have one
|
||
|
|
remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
|
||
|
|
tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon
|
||
|
|
as you have more than one remote with a '<something>'
|
||
|
|
reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
|
||
|
|
preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
|
||
|
|
disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
|
||
|
|
`origin`.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
Currently this is used by linkgit:git-switch[1] and
|
||
|
|
linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout <something>'
|
||
|
|
or 'git switch <something>'
|
||
|
|
will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote,
|
||
|
|
and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a
|
||
|
|
remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
|
||
|
|
commands or functionality in the future.
