+When the command line does not specify where to push with the
27
+`<repository>` argument, `branch.*.remote` configuration for the
28
+current branch is consulted to determine where to push. If the
29
+configuration is missing, it defaults to 'origin'.

31
+When the command line does not specify what to push with `<refspec>...`
32
+arguments or `--all`, `--mirror`, `--tags` options, the command finds
33
+the default `<refspec>` by consulting `remote.*.push` configuration,
34
+and if it is not found, honors `push.default` configuration to decide
35
+what to push (See gitlink:git-config[1] for the meaning of `push.default`).
