Git Pull: EGit with GitHub

Question

I followed the tutorial http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#GitHub_Tutorial to setup EGit with GitHub. When I want to pull I had the same problem described here: The current branch is not configured for pull No value for key branch.master.merge found in configuration

When I add the following to .git/config

[branch "master"]
   remote = origin
   merge = refs/heads/master

I get another error:

The current branch is not configured for pull No value for key remote.origin.url found in configuration

How can I fix this?

Do you also have a `[remote "origin"]` section containing a `url = ...`? — robinst, Jan 14 '13 at 23:55

As mention in bug 352687, this is probably because the remote section of your git config file doesn't include an 'origin' remote.

See the "Adding a Remote Configuration " section of the Egit User Guide:
If you don't have a remote "origin", you can add one.

add remote

(this example defines a new remote "pushtofile", but, again, you can define one named "origin" if you didn't have one yet.)

The screenshot is different from EGit in Kepler, where radio buttons instead of checkboxes are used. So only Push or Fetch configure at a time. – Paul Verest Aug 05 '13 at 12:14

Full .git/config file should be like:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = http://gitlab.funshion.com/gitlab/sandbox/try-conflict-resolution.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
