performing git push with repo URL pre set

Question

every time I have to push my branch to remote on GitHub I have to run the following command,

git push --set-upstream sensorAtHome WIP

however at office I just go ahead and push to our company cgit server.

so what is different and what do I need to do, locally for my GitHub project I have a already done this:

git remote add <name> <url>

I thought that was enough .

secondly what <name> refers to name of branch or name of repository?

<name> is the name of the remote. It's the name you're gonna use to refer to that <url>. sensorAtHome is a remote name. As for the rest of your problem, git push --set-upstream should do it. Could you show the full text of what happens when you run that command? Also the content of .git/config in that repository. — Schwern

Check your git branch -avv output, as well as git remote -v

Your office branch is probably already linked to a remote tracking branch.

See "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"

You should push once with:

git push -u sensorAtHome WIP

Then a simple git push would be enough: your local branch would know where and to which branch to push ("where" is sensorAtHome remote url, and "which branch" is sensorAtHome/WIP)
