Subject: Worktree shares a common remote with main checkout
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 10:50:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+2m0i8E5Qnj520LXitoE49U_8V17v_NUnrqcRfzHz0cA_ONSQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

This issue is just to fix an easy to make mistake when working with
multiple remote origins and worktrees, where it is too easy to push to
the wrong remote origin because one can't set the default origin on a
per-worktree basis.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Used
* git worktree to create a worktree
* git remote add to add a custom repository
* git commit/push to try to push changes

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Expected to have the git push recommend a remote origin that matched
the worktree, but it defaults to 'origin' all
the time, which means I need to checkout a clean clone from the
specific origin I'm making changes for so that I don't accidentally
push to the default origin.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Suggests 'origin' as the default origin - which is CORRECT for the
main git branch, but I want to use worktrees to allow working against
several remote origins, with the default being determined by which
worktree I'm in.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Suggested 'origin' for the --set-default rather than allowing me to
define the origin I want, for example 'wayfarer' as teh name of my own
remote that I have cloned on github.  The default origin is still
supposed to be 'origin' for pulls/naming, but when I push, it needs to
recommend the matching origin.

Anything else you want to add:
This is a bit of feature request, but the reason I'm listing it as a
bug is it makes it very easy to make a mistake by pushing to the wrong
origin for a new branch.
