git rebase fatal: Needed a single revision

Question

I have a branch of a public repository and I am trying to update my branch with the current commits from the original repository:

$ git fetch 
         


        

Answer 1

To make origin/master the default branch for remote origin, and thus make git rebase origin work:

$ echo "ref: refs/remotes/origin/master" > .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
