*I am trying to understand a scenario of being able to correct a user's
mistake setting up branch, the scenario is a user created a branch tracking
the wrong remote branch. I wanted to find the correct command to switch the
local branch configuration (via command line) to track the correct branch,
but am confused by the results I am getting. In my scenario I want to
change the user's local rel_010115 branch to track the master branch
instead of the remote release branch (rel_010115 that it is currently
tracking) *
*So first I run to see the current state*
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: hidden
Push URL: hidden
HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
master
rel_121214
Remote branches:
feature01 tracked
master tracked
rel_010115 tracked
rel_121214 tracked
Local branches configured for 'git pull':
master merges with remote master
rel_010115 merges with remote rel_010115
rel_121214 merges with remote rel_121214
Local refs configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (up to date)
rel_010115 pushes to rel_010115 (up to date)
rel_121214 pushes to rel_121214 (local out of date)
*Then I run the command*
$ git branch -u origin/master
Branch rel_010115 set up to track remote branch master from origin.
*To change the tracking of the rel_010115 to master*
*I then run again *
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin

Push URL: hidden
HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
master
rel_121214
Remote branches:
feature01 tracked
master tracked
rel_010115 tracked
rel_121214 tracked
Local branches configured for 'git pull':
master merges with remote master
rel_010115 merges with remote master
rel_121214 merges with remote rel_121214
Local refs configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (up to date)
rel_010115 pushes to rel_010115 (up to date)
rel_121214 pushes to rel_121214 (local out of date)
*I see that my pull has changed to master but not my push. What am I
missing or misunderstanding?*
*Thank you*
