警告：未将分支 master 设置为自己的上游

Question

I am trying to set git branch upstream but getting below warning.

Command

git checkout master
git branch --set-upstream-to master

warning: Not setting branch master as its own upstream.

How can I solve it?

Does that mean it already being tracing correct remote branch master ?

Answer 1

That should be:

 git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master

But if origin/master is there, the checkout should have tracked it already.

If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in exactly one remote (call it <remote> ) with a matching name and --no-guess is not specified, treat as equivalent to:

$ git checkout -b <branch> --track <remote>/<branch>

With Git 2.23+, you would use git switch master instead of checkout , as I mentioned here .
