Configure Git branch to push to different remote than it pulls from
As a loose follow-up to [Why force designation of a remote main branch?](https://software.codidact.com/posts/293552), is there a Git-native way to configure a branch for [GitHub's so-called "triangular" workflow][triangle]? The triangular workflow is meant for synchronizing upstream branches, namely abbreviating this: ```sh git switch main git pull upstream/main git push origin/main ``` into this: ```sh git switch main git pull git push ``` GitHub has invented a `pushremote` property on the `[branch "foo"]` configuration to set this, but it only works with their `gh` CLI tool. Is there a way to suggest to Git (which can pull/push from different *branches*) to pull/push from different *remotes?* [triangle]: https://github.blog/open-source/git/how-the-github-cli-can-now-enable-triangular-workflows/
