Changing the Git remote 'push to' default

I want to change the Git default remote branch destination so I could just ``` git push ``` Instead of: ``` git push upstream ``` Currently this is set to the origin remote and I want to set it to a different remote. I tried to remove the original (cloned from) remote ``` git remote rm origin ``` Which did remove the original remote. But doesn't solve the `git push` problem. I still get: fatal: No configured push destination. Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using... I also tried to play with: ``` git remote set-url --push myfork origin ``` and other options but none seem to work (maybe because I deleted the origin remote too soon?) Following the answer here I tried to change: ``` git config push.default upstream (or matching) ``` but neither worked.
