To avoid confusion,
recent versions ofgitdeprecate this somewhat ambiguous--set-upstreamoption
in favor of a more verbose--set-upstream-tooption
with identical syntax and behavior.
git branch --set-upstream-to <remote-branch>
sets the default remote branch for the current local branch.
Any future git pull command (with the current local branch checked-out),
will attempt to bring in commits from the <remote-branch> into the current local branch.
One way to avoid having to explicitly type --set-upstream / --set-upstream-to is to use its shorthand flag -u as follows:
git push -u origin local-branch
This sets the upstream association for any future push/pull attempts automatically.
For more details, checkout this detailed explanation about upstream branches and tracking.
