Hi all,

I always have the following error message when I try to pull master branch from origin:
"no values for key branch.master.merge" found in configuration".

Indeed I don't have that key in my git configuration but I don't know how to configure it. Besides, I noticed that none of my colleagues have the problem though they don't have that key either.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Best regards,
Max

The problem is simple: EGit doesn't know, from which remote branch you want to pull.
If you create your local branch based on a remote tracking branch, then that key is generated automatically.
Otherwise you can create it yourself:
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
branch.master.remote=origin

master stands for the branchname, in the key it's your local branch, in the value it's the branch in the remote repository. Place that in the repository-specific configuration file (%repositorypath%\.git\config)

That works, thanks.
That's easy to solve.

It's probably possible to improve usability by adding some explanations like "add the branch.master.merge entry in the repository config file" or something like that. With an example, it's even better. (just a suggestion, of course)

Can you file that as a bug in buzilla?

I'm a GIT & eGit newbie.

Can someone tell me how to create the branch myself using Manuel's suggestion:
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
branch.master.remote=origin

Where do I put this info within eclipse? Since I'm newbie, please don't be too technical.

You can do from "Git Repository" perspective → right click on the project → "Open properties view" → press "Edit" button on toolbar on this view → now you can add new entries.

The easiest way to achieve this is to click "Create Branch" in the repositories view
on the remote tracking branch you want to pull from, then this configuration is created
by EGit automatically.
