`origin/master` is a “remote-tracking branch”. It points to `master` on the `origin` remote. Or to be precise: it points to a ref that you use to track this branch from that remote. A remote is some other repository that you have a link to, like a URL.

That ref (reference) was updated with a command like `git fetch`.

You can get the link to that remote with

``` git remote get-url origin ```

Your own local repository is never a remote like `origin`. You don’t have to make your own repository into a remote.

Your repository is fine. There’s nothing that you need to do.
