How to pull local master into local branch
<p>I have a remote <code>origin/master</code> and a remote branch <code>remote_branch</code>.
I also have local <code>master</code> and a local branch <code>local_branch</code>. When I try to pull the local <code>master</code> into the <code>local_branch</code> with <code>git pull master local_branch</code> I get this. </p>

<pre><code>fatal: 'master' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
</code></pre>

<p>However, when I do <code>git branch</code> I see this:</p>

<pre><code>* loca_branch
  master
</code></pre>

<p>Why can't I pull from my local <code>master</code>?</p>
