2 | When you run 'git checkout <something>' |
3 | or 'git switch <something>' and only have one | |
9140b410 NTND |
4 | remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and |
5 | tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon | |
6 | as you have more than one remote with a '<something>' | |
7 | reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a | |
8 | preferred remote that should always win when it comes to | |
9 | disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to | |
10 | `origin`. | |

12 | Currently this is used by linkgit:git-switch[1] and |
13 | linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout <something>' | |
14 | or 'git switch <something>' | |
15 | will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote, | |
9140b410 NTND |
16 | and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a |
17 | remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like | |
18 | commands or functionality in the future. |
