Understanding Tracking Branches
A tracking branch in Git is a local branch that has a direct relationship with a remote branch. When a local branch is set to track a remote branch, it becomes easier to synchronize changes between your local repository and the remote repository. This allows you to use commands like git pull and git push without specifying the remote branch explicitly.

In this article, we will walk through the steps to set up tracking for an existing Git branch.
