To be able to easily push new commits to your pull request, you first need to switch the [default push method](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-pushdefault) to "upstream":
```shell
# To only set this option for this specific repository
git config push.default upstream
# Or run this instead if you want to set this option globally
git config --global push.default upstream
```
Then, run the following command:
```shell
git config branch.local-branch.merge refs/for/main/topic-branch
```
After doing so, you can now simply run `git push` to push commits to your pull request, without having to specify the refspec.
This also will allow you to pull, fetch, rebase, etc. from the AGit pull request by default.
