How can I enable fetch before push but disable auto fetch?

[linsui]

I need to fetch the remote before push but I don't want it keep fetching in background. I guess I can set the fetchInterval to a large value. Is there a better solution?

Maybe adding git fetch as a pre-push hook?

[linsui]

I thought this needs to be added to every repo...

You could add a core.hooksPath and have a global hook there (docs).

Second option would be to create a custom command within lazygit and map it to P (push), something like git fetch && git push.

Third option would be to create a habit of fetching/pulling before pushing since it's something one should use even when not using any git wrappers.

Thanks!
