You can use 'upstream' field name in git-for-each-ref invocation,
for example

  git for-each-ref '--format=%(refname:short) %(upstream:short)' refs/heads |
  	grep -e ' [^ ]' |
  	sed  -e 's/ .*$//
 

Thanks

This could probably be done using only sed -- grep is not necessary.

I think the equivalent would be:
sed '/ [^ ]/ s/ .*$//'

You need to suppress printing the non-matching lines.

  sed -n '/ [^ ]/ s/ .*$//p'
