A sane(r) workflow to submit work to github

It really frustrates me that while github nicely automated forking, there's no "update fork" button. For me, it's tedious and difficult to juggle two remotes. Instead, I added a single line to .git/config:

[remote "origin"]
        url = git@github.com:symfony/symfony.git
        pushUrl = git@github.com:chx/symfony.git

Now, I pull from the upstream and push to my own repo. Also, git config push.default current will make git push work on a newly opened branch instead of whining about the need to run git push -u origin branchname. I like it so much I have git config --global push.default current.

Edit: if you had a clone before this, do not forget to make sure that your branch in .git/config uses the "remote" origin:

[branch "develop"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/develop

Our environment has multiple branches: dev, test stg/prod where stg is considered a mirror of prod before pusing to prod.

In development, there are forks of the dev environment, branches of the dev environment, and sometimes test falls behind dev and stg/prod for regulatory testing.

I like this setting to pull from the upstream and push to the personal repo. But it would become much more complex in a typical web application dev/deploy environment, wouldn't it?

obviously this does not always work but it does work in enough situations that it's useful.
