改进这个答案，我想出了这些.gitconfig别名:

branch-name = "symbolic-ref --short HEAD"
branch-remote-fetch = !"branch=$(git branch-name) && git config branch.\"$branch\".remote || echo origin #"
branch-remote-push  = !"branch=$(git branch-name) && git config branch.\"$branch\".pushRemote || git config remote.pushDefault || git branch-remote-fetch #"
branch-url-fetch = !"remote=$(git branch-remote-fetch) && git remote get-url        \"$remote\" #"  # cognizant of insteadOf
branch-url-push  = !"remote=$(git branch-remote-push ) && git remote get-url --push \"$remote\" #"  # cognizant of pushInsteadOf

两个选择:

% git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}
origin/mainline

or

% git for-each-ref --format='%(upstream:short)' "$(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD)"
origin/mainline

还有另一种方法

git status -b --porcelain

这会给你

## BRANCH(...REMOTE)
modified and untracked files

我认为git branch -av只告诉你你有什么分支，它们在哪个提交，让你推断本地分支正在跟踪哪些远程分支。

Git remote show origin显式地告诉你哪个分支正在跟踪哪个远程分支。下面是一个存储库的输出示例，包含一个提交和一个名为branch的远程分支:

$ git branch -av
* abranch                d875bf4 initial commit
  master                 d875bf4 initial commit
  remotes/origin/HEAD    -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/abranch d875bf4 initial commit
  remotes/origin/master  d875bf4 initial commit

与

$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: /home/ageorge/tmp/d/../exrepo/
  Push  URL: /home/ageorge/tmp/d/../exrepo/
  HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
    abranch
    master
  Remote branches:
    abranch tracked
    master  tracked
  Local branches configured for 'git pull':
    abranch merges with remote abranch
    master  merges with remote master
  Local refs configured for 'git push':
    abranch pushes to abranch (up to date)
    master  pushes to master  (up to date)

我用这个别名

git config --global alias.track '!sh -c "
if [ \$# -eq 2 ]
 then
   echo \"Setting tracking for branch \" \$1 \" -> \" \$2;
   git branch --set-upstream \$1 \$2;
 else
   git for-each-ref --format=\"local: %(refname:short) <--sync--> remote: %(upstream:short)\" refs/heads && echo --URLs && git remote -v;
fi  
" -'

then

git track

注意，该脚本还可以用于设置跟踪。

如果你想找到任何分支的上游(而不仅仅是你所在的分支)，这里是对@cdunn2001的答案的轻微修改:

git revv -parse——abbrev-ref——symbol -full-name

这将为名为YOUR_LOCAL_BRANCH_NAME的本地分支提供远程分支名称。
