In short, the -u parameter tells git to set upstream source for this branch. After this is done, no need to set it again, git push origin master is sufficent.

From [git doc](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches) : « Checking out a local branch from a remote-tracking branch automatically creates what is called a “tracking branch” (and the branch it tracks is called an “upstream branch”) » – Romain Valeri Oct 04 '18 at 06:46
