title: git command from mac terminal to point to branch instead of master
body: <p>I am trying to push changes from local file to git . I am using mac terminal git commands . Currently "git status" command shows below</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git status
  On branch master
  Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
