Git status - Not showing states of remote Repo

Just starting with Git and I'm finding something strange.

I have a git repo on github - https://github.com/ankh2054/modx.git I have a directory on my sever /home/Modx

I've added the github as a remote Repo, and if I run the command

git remote -v

I get the following output

origin  https://github.com/ankh2054/modx.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/ankh2054/modx.git (push)

But when I run git status, it does not mention anything about my remote Repo. So when I update and commit files locally it does't prompt me about my local being more up to date than my remote Repo.

git status

On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean

What I should say I believe is:

On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean

Check the output of git branch -avvv.

If you don't see any remote branch, that means you need to:

 git fetch
 git branch -u origin/master

From there you will have a comparison between master and origin/master.
And you will be able to do a simple git push.
