Solution

  • It could be because you don't have a local master. If it is scenario, these steps might help you.

    To fetch master, you simply need to:

    git fetch origin master

    This will fetch master for you. You can see the branches available for checkout with:

    git branch -v -a

    With the remote branches in hand, you now need to check out the branch you are interested in, giving you a local working copy:

    git checkout -b master origin/master
