When I try to run git pull in my branch, git spits out this error: $ git pull 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-to=origin/<branch> master Set upstream for master branch git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master After that, I can simply run git pull to update code.
