git pull
warning: Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches is
discouraged. You can squelch this message by running one of the following
commands sometime before your next pull:

 git config pull.rebase false  # merge (the default strategy)
 git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
 git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only

You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
invocation.

Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/master'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.

your branch is behind origin/main
