I'm working on remote repository with git commands on windows cmd and it works well, but when working with git commands in git bash terminal I get error:
Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/feature/branch-name'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.
How can I fix it for git bash terminal?
Check first, in your git bash session, the ouput of:
git branch -avv
git status
Make sure the name of the branch you are in matches the remote one, especially considering the case (uper/lowercase), in case it is insensitive in a CMD session, and sensitive in a bash session.
See this example.
If the list of branches show the local one is not linked to a remote tracking one, then, as I documented in "[Difference between git checkout --track origin/branch and git checkout -b branch origin/branch][2]":
git branch -u origin/branch branch
On branch next Your branch is up to date with 'origin/next'. nothing to commit, working tree clean
It started working when I moved to the main branch (next). But, when i switch back to my branch this is what I get:
$ git pull
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> feature/branch-name
Finally found the answer here: Why do I have to "git push --set-upstream origin <branch>"?
git push -u origin <your-local-branch-name>
So if your local branch name is coffee
git push -u origin coffee
feature/is part of thebranch-name.
