If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to
use something like the following in your configuration file:
[branch "master"]
remote = <nickname>
merge = <remote-ref>
[remote "<nickname>"]
url = <url>
fetch = <refspec>
In shell :
Command me.rincevent:~ : git config branch.master.remote origin Command me.rincevent:~ : git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
Or simply edit .git/config and add (the most common) :
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
