### I want to set a remote branch as the upstream for a local branch
You can set a remote branch as the upstream for the current local branch using:
```sh
$ git branch --set-upstream-to [remotename]/[branch]
# or, using the shorthand:
$ git branch -u [remotename]/[branch]
```
To set the upstream remote branch for another local branch:
```sh
$ git branch -u [remotename]/[branch] [local-branch]
```
