Git pull yields this response: "You asked me to pull without telling me which branch..."

After a few attempts, this becomes quite annoying. What do you do to fix it?

There are a few ways to solve this.

1. Delete and re-create the repository with "git clone <repo>". When I looked in the .git/config file in the newly cloned repository, I saw these magic settings:

[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master

2. Of course, now that you know, you can hand edit this file yourself.

3. Or you can do it the 'git' way, properly

git config --list

Shows you the current configuration settings.

What you need to do is:

git config branch.master.remote origin
git config branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
