Description

When remote branch is merged, the branch is often deleted automatically. So when I try push the code to remote by Sync Changes, will notify:

It would be convenient to provide a action button to run git push --set-upstream origin $current_branch

Research direction
Examine the Git extension in vscode/extensions/git for existing commands like 'git.push'. Identify where the 'sync changes' action is defined and how to add a new action. Consider creating a command 'git.pushSetUpstream' that runs 'git push set upstream origin $currentBranch' and conditionally showing it when the remote branch is missing. Look for any discussions or related PRs in the issue tracker.
