Using Git how do I find changes between local and remote
Starting with Git 1.7.0, there is a special syntax that allows you to generically refer to the upstream branch: @{u} or @{upstream}.

You should use the Keyring extension instead, as it has been specifically designed for securely saving authentication passwords.
