git push only works if your "origin" is somehow magically configured in a dotfile

Yes, that's true of a plain "git push" with no arguments, though of course you can always just give a url (or the name of a remote).

which is very poorly explained deep in the 50th page of the manual.

You're talking about this? Actually I'm not sure if it ever explicitly says that "origin" is the default, though it does show how to add a new remote.

Any concrete suggestions would be appreciated. I do agree that remotes could be better explained.
