git branch list the branches with upstream

Question

Git i have default master branch and origin/master.

To list the remote and local branches i used git branch -a

Next when i am using cmd git branch -vv

when i am using git branch -vv inside the box with color of blue [origin/master] is available so what is mean by that ?

Could you please some one help me ?

Answer 1

The text in blue is showing you the upstream branch which is associated with the local branch. ie origin/master is the upstream branch of master .

Answer 2

That shows you which branch that branch is tracking. In your case, master is tracking origin/master .

Ttracking branches, when pushed, push to the branch they track.
