Sets the default remote branch for the current local branch.

Whichever git pull future command (with local branch checked-out) will try to bring the commits from <remote-branch> current local branch.

A way to avoid having to explicitly do --set-upstream is use the abbreviated flag -u, together with the git push as follows

git push -u origin local-branch

This sets the upstream association for any future push/pull attempts automatically.
