I accidentally did: git checkout mybranch git branch –set-upstream origin mybranch Git says: Branch

I accidentally did:

git checkout mybranch
git branch --set-upstream origin mybranch 

Git says:

Branch origin set up to track local branch mybranch.

How do I reset that and what could it do to me?

Thanks,

    If all else fails, just edit .git/config with text editor. All the command does is set there

    [branch "origin"]
    merge=refs/heads/mybranch
    

    so just remove the invalid setting.
