Git FIX for: There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with.

After add or set url we can have a problem:

There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.

    git pull <remote> <branch>

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

    git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> master

Solution:

git pull origin master

Second solution:

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