Hi,

When I run git status, it show the status compared against the branch upstream/develop. I want it to compare against origin/develop. I checked progit. But I don't see how to change the branch to compare to. Could anybody let me know how to do so? Thanks!

~/dvcs_src/craftyjs1/Crafty/build/api$ git status # On branch 2D_doc_dev # Your branch is ahead of 'upstream/develop' by 2 commits. # nothing to commit (working directory clean)

-- 
Regards,
Peng
