Subject: [PATCH] doc: clarify push.default=simple in triangular workflows
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 06:58:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2115.git.1779433093971.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: ivanbaluta <ivanbaluta.dev@gmail.com>

The documentation for 'simple' push mode currently focuses on the
centralized workflow. However, the implementation in builtin/push.c
falls back to 'current' behavior when pushing to a remote different
from the upstream (a triangular workflow).

Clarify this in the manual to align the documentation with the
long-standing implementation and prevent user confusion.

 pull from, which is typically `origin`), then you need to configure an upstream
 branch with the same name.

+In a triangular workflow (pushing to a remote different from the upstream),
+`simple` behaves like `current`.

 This mode is the default since Git 2.0, and is the safest option suited for
 beginners.
