git远程跟踪分支返回“请求的上游分支不存在”

Question

I've git config like this:

[remote "origin"]
   url = git@bitbucket.org:archie/learn-express.git
   fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
   remote = origin     <==== 
   merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "znotanto"]
   url = https://archie@bitbucket.org/znotanto/learn-express.git
   fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/znotanto/*

I wanna change the part that I show with arrow to znotanto . I've tried git branch master --set-upstream-to znotanto/master from so but give me error

error: the requested upstream branch 'znotanto/master' does not exist

Answer 1

Does the repository copy over at znotanto ( https://archie@bitbucket.org/znotanto/learn-express.git ) actually have a branch named master yet?

If so, use:

git fetch znotano

to get your Git to learn about it. This will have your Git create your remote-tracking name znotanto/master , after which you will be able to set znotanto/master as the upstream of any of your branches.

If not, you need to first create the name master in the Git repository at znotanto , so that your Git will see it so that your Git will create your remote-tracking name znotanto/master . So in this case, first create that branch there—exactly how is not important—and then run git fetch znotanto .
