title: How to pull local master into local branch
body: <p>I have a remote <code>origin/master</code> and a remote branch <code>remote_branch</code>.
  I also have local <code>master</code> and a local branch <code>local_branch</code>. When I try to pull the local <code>master</code> into the <code>local_branch</code> with <code>git pull master local_branch</code> I get this. </p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: 'master' does not appear to be a git repository
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I do <code>git branch</code> I see this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>* loca_branch
    master
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why can't I pull from my local <code>master</code>?</p>
