git connect my local branch with remote

Question

In my local repo if I execute

$git branch --all

it returns

* master
  remotes/origin/develop
  remotes/origin/master

that means that I have a local branch named repo and 2 remote branches.

If I do

$git checkout -b develop

it will create a local branch that is unrelated to remote branch .

The command

$git pull origin develop

it will connect my local branch with remote branch?

Answer 1

If by "connect" you mean you want your local branch to track the remote branch, then you need to have your branch --set-upstream

git branch --set-upstream develop origin/develop

Then things like git pull and git status will know which remote branch to track.
