There is no tracking information for the current branch
git, git-pull, github
Solution
You could specify what branch you want to pull:
git pull origin master
Or you could set it up so that your local master branch tracks github master branch as an upstream:
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master
git pull
This branch tracking is set up for you automatically when you clone a repository (for the default branch only), but if you add a remote to an existing repository you have to set up the tracking yourself. Thankfully, the advice given by git makes that pretty easy to remember how to do.
Problem
I've been using github from a relatively short period, and I've always used the client to perform commits and pulls. I decided to try it from the git bash yesterday, and I successfully created a new repo and committed files. Today I did changes to the repository from another computer, I've committed the changes and now I'm back home and performed a `git pull` to update my local version and I get this: ``` 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 develop origin/<branch> ``` the only contributor to this repo is me and there are no branches (just a master). I'm on windows and I've performed the pull from git bash: git status: ``` $ git status # On branch master nothing to commit, working directory clean ``` git branch: ``` $ git branch * master ``` What am I doing wrong?
