🌸 Name

git-track — set up branch for tracking a remote.

✨ Syntax

git-track remote/branch

you hand it one thing: remote/branch. that's the whole argument situation, bestie 🫶

💖 Description

it's a wrapper. like, that's the vibe. it calls:

git config branch.<current>.remote = <nickname>
git config branch.<current>.merge = <remote-ref>

so yes: <current> is the current branch, <nickname> is the nickname, and <remote-ref> is the remote-ref. it's giving "set up branch for tracking a remote" energy, periodt 💅
