git branch --set-upstream localbranchname remotebranchroot/remotebranchname[/code]Eg.[/code]My list of local/remotes:[/code][[email protected] supernova-kernel]$ git branch -a
* jan31
master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/UnderVoltVDD_OC
remotes/origin/battery
remotes/origin/jan31
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/sense35
remotes/origin/testuv
remotes/origin/vddhavsocuvsysfs[/code]So, I have to write:
[[email protected] supernova-kernel]$ git branch --set-upstream jan31 origin/jan31
Branch jan31 set up to track remote branch jan31 from origin.[/code]Following this, we can pull from the remote to get the remote changes to local:
[[email protected] supernova-kernel]$ git pull
