.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.nf
\fIgit nav\-upstream\fR
.fi
.sp
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fIgit\-nav\-upstream\fR takes the current branch, finds it\*(Aqs upstream branch, and checks that out\&.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.sp
.sp

.nf
\fB$ git map\-branches\fR
origin/main
cool_feature
\fB subfeature *
\fR fixit
frozen_branch
\fB$ git nav\-upstream\fR
Switched to branch \*(Aqcool_feature\*(Aq
Your branch is ahead of \*(Aqorigin/main\*(Aq by 4 commits\&.
(use "git push" to publish your local commits)
\fB$ git map\-branches\fR
origin/main
\fB cool_feature *
\fR subfeature
fixit
frozen_branch
\fB$ git nav\-upstream\fR
Note: switching to \*(Aqorigin/main\*(Aq\&.
You are in \*(Aqdetached HEAD\*(Aq state\&. You can look around, make experimental \fB(1)\fR
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch\&.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using \-c with the switch command\&. Example:
git switch \-c <new\-branch\-name>
Or undo this operation with:
git switch \-
Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice\&.detachedHead to false
HEAD is now at beec6f4 Make ReflectorImpl use mailboxes
