Very cool.

Setting this globally raises problem adding/removing remote origin. After setting this, I get following error when initializing new repository:

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/hail2u/example.git
fatal: remote origin already exists.

This must be removed from this cheat sheet.

@hail2u Interesting, so this was the reason for that error.

It's not really a problem, though. Just use set-url instead of add.

Using remote set-url can set remote.origin.url, but not remote.origin.fetch. This means git fetch failed to save remote branches (master) as origin/master:

$ git fetch
From https://github.com/hail2u/example
 * branch            master   -> FETCH_HEAD
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master
error: the requested upstream branch 'origin/master' does not exist

Yes, we can manually set remote.origin.fetch correctly, but I think this breaks a typical Git workflow.

What do you guys propose as a fix for this? Doing this thing globally is useful but if it breaks stuff then we might as well just remove it from the cheat sheet.
