git checkout tag, git pull fails in branch
git, git-checkout, git-pull
Solution
Edit: For newer versions of Git, `--set-upstream master` has been deprecated, you should use `--set-upstream-to` instead:
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master
As it prompted, you can just run:
git branch --set-upstream master origin/master
After that, you can simply run `git pull` to update your code.
Problem
I have cloned a git repository and then checked out a tag: ``` # git checkout 2.4.33 -b my_branch ``` This is OK, but when I try to run `git pull` in my branch, git spits out this error: There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details ``` git pull <remote> <branch> ``` If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with: ``` git branch --set-upstream new origin/<branch> ``` I want `git pull` to only update the master branch and leave my current branch alone (it's a tag anyway). Is something like this possible? The reason I need this is that I have a automatic script which always git pulls the repository and of course fails because of the error above..
