There is no tracking information for the current branch

Try using

git push --set-upstream origin <branch_name>

Otherwise

use

git push -u 

will tell you what needs to be done.

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main

This happens due to current branch has no tracking on the branch on the remote. so you can do it with 2 ways.

1. Pull with specific branch name

git pull origin master

2. Or you can specific branch to track to the local branch.

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

The same thing happened to me before when I created a new git branch while not pushing it to origin.

Try to execute those two lines first:

git checkout -b name_of_new_branch # create the new branch
git push origin name_of_new_branch # push the branch to github

Then:

git pull origin name_of_new_branch

It should be fine now!

$ git branch --set-upstream-to=heroku/master master and

$ git pull

worked for me!

With Git 2.24, you won't have to do

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

You will be able to do:

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

See more at "default remote and branch using -u option - works with push but not pull".

try

   git pull --rebase

ComputerDruid's answer is great but I don't think it's necessary to set upstream manually unless you want to. I'm adding this answer because people might think that that's a necessary step.

This error will be gone if you specify the remote that you want to pull like below:

git pull origin master

Note that origin is the name of the remote and master is the branch name.

1) How to check remote's name

git remote -v

2) How to see what branches available in the repository.

git branch -r

I was trying the above examples and couldn't get them to sync with a (non-master) branch I had created on a different computer. For background, I created this repository on computer A (git v 1.8) and then cloned the repository onto computer B (git 2.14). I made all my changes on comp B, but when I tried to pull the changes onto computer A I was unable to do so, getting the same above error. Similar to the above solutions, I had to do:

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<my_repository_name> 
git pull

slightly different but hopefully helps someone

1) git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<master_branch> feature/<your_current_branch>

2) git pull

I run into this exact message often because I create a local branches via git checkout -b <feature-branch-name> without first creating the remote branch.

After all the work was finished and committed locally the fix was git push -u which created the remote branch, pushed all my work, and then the merge-request URL.

See: git checkout tag, git pull fails in branch

If like me you need to do this all the time, you can set up an alias to do it automatically by adding the following to your .gitconfig file:

[alias]
    set-upstream = 
       !git branch 
           --set-upstream-to=origin/`git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`

When you see the message There is no tracking information..., run:

 git set-upstream
 git push
