   I tried to reproduce this on the current build and could not.

   In progress: the worktree at origin/main ee90bdc is still checking out. I have not run the reproduction yet.

   Closing as not planned. If it still happens for you, reply with the exact steps and the version you are on and it will be looked at again.

   It still happens for me on main ee90bdc940, on Linux: server built from that commit, web client in Chromium. The step that matters is that topic tracks origin/topic (git push -u origin topic). A branch that tracks nothing goes to the fork and looks fine.

   Exact steps, in a new empty folder, with no network remote:

   git init --bare -b main source.git
   git init --bare -b main personal-fork.git
   git clone source.git sample-push
   cd sample-push
   git config user.name "Test User"
   git config user.email "test@example.com"
   git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/main
   echo "first line" > notes.txt
   git add notes.txt
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   git push -u origin main
   git switch -c topic
   echo "topic line" >> notes.txt
   git commit -am "Start topic"
   git push -u origin topic
   git remote set-url origin ../source.git
   git remote add fork ../personal-fork.git
   git push fork main topic
   git fetch fork
   git config remote.pushDefault fork
   echo "a line" >> notes.txt
   git commit -am "Add a line to notes"
   git push --dry-run

   The last command prints To ../personal-fork.git, so plain git push would go to the fork.

   In T3 Code: Add project, Local folder, the sample-push folder. In Thread details, section Version Control, click Git action options (the chevron beside the Git button), then Push. The panel says "Pushed to origin/topic".

   git -C ../source.git log --oneline -1 topic
   git -C ../personal-fork.git log --oneline -1 topic

   source.git shows "Add a line to notes" and the fork still shows "Start topic". With git config branch.topic.pushRemote fork in place of remote.pushDefault, in a fresh folder, the result is the same.

   The same check as a scenario file for scripts/scenarios/

   Saved as scripts/scenarios/push-goes-to-push-remote.e2e.ts and run with pnpm exec e2e run scenarios/push-goes-to-push-remote.e2e.ts from scripts, it fails on ee90bdc940 at the fork assertion.

   import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";
   import * as NodePath from "node:path";
   
   import { expect } from "e2e";
   
   import { test, WEB } from "./t3.ts";

     await expect(screen.getByText(/^Pushed to /)).toBeVisible();
     await app.screenshot("after-push");
   
     const tip = (repo: string) => git(NodePath.join(parent, repo), "rev-parse", "topic");
     expect(tip("personal-fork.git")).toBe(head);
     expect(tip("source.git")).not.toBe(head);
   });
