Common git issues and their solution

While using git, I faced some small issues and found their solution online. Here is the consolidated list.

1. Refusing to merge unrelated histories.
Command : git pull
Error : fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories
Solution : git pull --allow-unrelated-histories

2. There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Command : git pull
Error : There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
Solution : git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master

3. Not a git repository.
Command : git remote add origin https://github.com/jagdevsingh87/ATG-REST-case-study.git
Error : fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Solution : git init
