Pulling isn't possible either:

...
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to rebase against.
See git-pull(1) for details.

     git pull <remote> <branch>

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so 
with:

     git branch --set-upstream-to=<remote>/<branch> master
...
