Git push without setup remote branch

You are starting working on a new branch. You want to push some commit and you get such message:

$ git push
fatal: The current branch feature/my-branch has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin feature/my-branch

Again, you forgot to set up upstream branch. To not forget it again, you can configure git to do this automatically by running such command:

git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true

And then you can just hit git push

$ git push
