    <p><strong>Short Version:</strong> </p> <p>I want to create a local branch (B) from a local branch (A) and make it track the same remote branch that (A) is tracking. How could I do that in one command? Is there any way I could set this behavior as default?</p> <p><strong>Full Explanation:</strong></p> <p>I've recently converted from using git-svn to "pure" git. There's an aspect of my workflow that has been really frustrating, and I'm trying to figure out a way to restore that workflow. Here is how it was with git-svn:</p> <ul> <li>Create a new local branch (A) that tracks a remote branch (X)</li> <li>Do some work, make some local commits.</li> <li><code>git svn rebase</code> -- A is rebased up to the HEAD of X</li> <li>Do some work, make some local commits.</li> <li>Have an offshoot idea, make a new local branch (B) from (A)</li> <li>Do some work, make some local commits.</li> <li><code>git svn rebase</code> -- B is rebased up to the HEAD of X</li> <li>etc.</li> </ul> <p>In the pure git world, the problem I'm having is that while (A) tracks the remote branch, (B) does not inherit that. I'm aware that I can explicitly set this, by doing <code>git branch --set-upstream (B) (X)</code>. What I am looking for is a way for this tracking behavior to be inherited automatically, so I don't have to remember to do this, and then get all frustrated when my <code>git pull --rebase</code> doesn't work on (B).</p> <p>I realize that the "problem" with this is that it can lose the heritage of (B) having been made from (A). I just don't care about that.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>

    1. COToo much context, why do people likes to turn simple questions into complex ones?. I probably can ask it in one sentence. "How can i make my local branch permanently track a remote branch?"

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
