Question

So I set up a new remote git repo using the following lines:

git remote add origin [link]
git push origin master
[enter password]

In my previous repo, when I make a new commit and check status, it will tell me that my branch is ahead by x commits if I forgot to use git push. However, this new repo no longer shows this when I use git status.

Can anyone tell me how to fix that?

Thanks,

The branch is not tracked. You should add add tracking: git branch –set-upstream master origin/master.
Make an existing Git branch track a remote branch?
