+ Works like `git push <remote>`, where <remote> is the
+ current branch's remote (or `origin`, if no remote is

+git push origin::
+ Without additional configuration, works like

+The default behavior of this command when no <refspec> is given can be

+For example, to default to pushing only the current branch to `origin`
+use `git config remote.origin.push HEAD`. Any valid <refspec> (like

Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository
