+You can set a remote branch as the upstream for the current local branch using:
+
+```sh
+$ git branch --set-upstream-to [remotename]/[branch]
+# or, using the shorthand:
+$ git branch -u [remotename]/[branch]
+```
+
+To set the upstream remote branch for another local branch:
+
+```sh
+$ git branch -u [remotename]/[branch] [local-branch]
