It's a learning process. The more you work with it, the easier it becomes. :-)

That's the default behavior. "Git push" doesn't blindly upload
everything. It only syncs the branches that you've selected as remote
tracking branches. Everything else stays local. This is why the
typical git workflow is to use lots of local branches that you merge
to master when a particular feature is ready.

So, in your current config, a git push would only consider master,
because it's the only remote-tracking branch that's checked out.
