I have a git.git clone using --use-separate-remote. That means i have the master branch created by default. Now i need to build git from the pu branch too. So i created git branch pu remotes/origin/pu.

How how do i track the pu branch using git pull. What i mean is the master local branch is tracked by default using git pull. Is there a way to track the local pu branch too.

I looked at git-repo-config and branch.<name>. config variable usage is confusing. After initial try i concluded that it is to replace .git/remotes/origin not the requirement i had.
