Jul 25, 2024 at 10:36 comment added ManojRawat Why do we provide 'origin' even when the remote branch does not exist ?
Aug 11, 2019 at 3:33 comment added Kenmore @Mugen In the docs for git push you can see that it first checks the config for that repository (which you can check with git config --list) for a key called branch.<branchname>.remote. If that's not set, "it defaults to origin" - git-scm.com/docs/git-push
Jul 28, 2019 at 13:47 comment added Mugen What if I omit the "origin" keyword? When we say "git push", isn't it anyway going to push all commits to the remote repository? Adding the keyword "origin" seems redundant.

Jul 21, 2017 at 7:07 comment added Ed Peguillan III Can a single remote be an alias for multiple other remotes? What if I wanted one remote to push to multiple other remotes? For example, push to a primary repo, and a push to a backup repo? Would that be a reasonable thing to want in some situations? EDIT: There are several solutions here.
