Git push for dummies

Too many developer see this message after a git push, than try to googling for a solution (in the meantime the AI is getting ready)

ubuntu@skynet:~/ (feature/T1000) $ git push

fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

     git push --set-upstream origin master
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

But, not being able to read the last line because of the white spaces that interrupt the flow of strings on the screen.

Proposed solution

Then we thought to help them in this way:

git push || $(git push 2>&1 | grep "." | tail -1)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

They will then be able to create an alias to manage the git push for dummies.

You just have to git push -u origin master at sometime before. That's all.
