# 1. Add the "-u" option in "push" command to make your local created branch
# have the upstream branch setting.
git push -u origin a-new-branch
# The command above will create the "a-new-branch" on remote git server, and
# add associate the remote branch with your local "a-new-branch", aka setting
# upsteam branch of your local "a-new-branch" branch. Without this, when you
# pull after the "push" action, you are ask to add such upstream info manually.

# 2. Find out which remote branch is the upstream branch of (tracked by) a
# local branch.
