Different default remote (tracking branch) for git pull and git push

Question

Is there a way to set up a git repository, so that git pull defaults to one remote and git push defaults to another? I know I can set both by changing the value of the remote variable in branch section of .git/config, but how to do it for each direction separately?

Answer 1

Since Git version 1.7.0, you can set this with:

git remote set-url --push origin https://your.push.com/blah/
