How to fix error: the requested upstream branch 'origin/feature' does not exist in Git

# Fetch from origin (most common remote name)
git fetch origin

# If using a different remote name (e.g., upstream for forked repos)
git fetch upstream

# Fetch from all remotes
git fetch --all

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/feature

# List all remote branches
git branch -r

# List all branches (local and remote)
git branch -a

# Check if a specific branch exists
git branch -r | grep feature

# See what branches exist on the remote without fetching
git ls-remote --heads origin

# Push the current branch and set upstream tracking
git push -u origin feature

# Or for the current branch (whatever it's named)
git push -u origin HEAD

# List all remotes
git remote -v

# Check fetch configuration for origin
git config --get remote.origin.fetch
# Should return: +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

# Set the correct fetch configuration
git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"

[remote "origin"]
    url = https://github.com/user/repo.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

# Check if you have a shallow clone
git rev-parse --is-shallow-repository
# Returns "true" if shallow

# Unshallow to get full history and all branches
git fetch --unshallow

# Or fetch specific branch depth
git fetch --depth=100 origin feature

# Instead of shallow clone
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/user/repo.git

# Use this to include branches
git clone --depth 1 --no-single-branch https://github.com/user/repo.git

# List all remotes
git remote -v
# origin    https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
# origin    https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)
# upstream  https://github.com/original/repo.git (fetch)

# List remote branches to see exact names
git branch -r
# origin/main
# origin/develop
# upstream/main

# Correct format
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/feature

# NOT (missing origin/)
git branch --set-upstream-to=feature
