for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote name There are times when e.g. scripts want to know not only the name of the upstream branch on the remote repository, but also the name of the remote. This patch offers the new suffix :remotename for the upstream and for the push atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example: $ cat .git/config ... [remote "origin"] url = https://where.do.we.come/from fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* [remote "hello-world"] url = https://hello.world/git fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* pushURL = hello.world:git push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* [branch "master"] remote = origin pushRemote = hello-world ... $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(upstream) %(upstream:remotename) %(push:remotename)' \ refs/heads/master refs/remotes/origin/master origin hello-world The implementation chooses *not* to DWIM the push remote if no explicit push remote was configured; The reason is that it is possible to DWIM this by using %(if)%(push:remotename)%(then) %(push:remotename) %(else) %(upstream:remotename) %(end) while it would be impossible to "un-DWIM" the information in case the caller is really only interested in explicit push remotes. While `:remote` would be shorter, it would also be a bit more ambiguous, and it would also shut the door e.g. for `:remoteref` (which would obviously refer to the corresponding ref in the remote repository). Note: the dashless, non-CamelCased form `:remotename` follows the example of the `:trackshort` example.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
