Git: which is the default configured remote for branch?

Question

I have a remote bare repository hub. I work only in the master branch. The last sentence of this error message below makes me wonder: How do I find

Answer 1

For the sake of completeness: the previous answers tell how to set the upstream branch, but not how to see it.

There are a few ways to do this:

git branch -vv shows that info for all branches. (formatted in blue in most terminals)

cat .git/config shows this also.

For reference:

• how do I get git to show me which branches are tracking what?
• What is this branch tracking (if anything) in git?
