There is no option to change the remote tracked branch of a local branch, so the "Push to upstream" options shows an error. The only workaround is to push the current branch to remote (via the long wizard), then create a new branch based on the remote one, and finally the "Push to upstream" option works as intended. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a new project 2) Initialize GIT 3) Push to a remote repository 4) Try to select the option "Push to upstream" and an error will pop: "No tracked remote branch specified for local <branch name>". There is no way to select the tracked remote branch. What is expected: Alternative A: In the error shown, there should be an option to select which locale remote will be set to be tracked. Alternative B: In the Git Repository Browser, in the context menu of a local branch, there should be an option to set the tracked remote branch of that local branch.
