Finally after years of hand typing out a full git push --upstream my\_really\_long\_and\_descriptive\_branch\_name I foudn there is a setting to automatcally push to the current branch. More realisitically I just did a git push let git yell at me, and copying the suggestion.
git config --global push.default current
This one setting will now git push to the current branch without yelling at you that your upstream does not match your current branch.

hahaha this tip will save a lot of time for me, thanks
It has so far saved me. It could cause an issue of pushing to the wrong branch, but I have never gotten past one mistaken commit to the wrong branch.
