git commands working on windows command line but not in Git Bash terminal

I'm working on remote repository with git commands on windows cmd and it works well, but when working with git commands in git bash terminal I get error:

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

How can I fix it for git bash terminal?

Check first, in your git bash session, the ouput of:

git branch -avv
git status

Make sure the name of the branch you are in matches the remote one, especially considering the case (uper/lowercase), in case it is insensitive in a CMD session, and sensitive in a bash session.
See this example.

If the list of branches show the local one is not linked to a remote tracking one, then, as I documented in "[Difference between git checkout --track origin/branch and git checkout -b branch origin/branch][2]":

git branch -u origin/branch branch

It started working when I moved to the main branch (next). But, when i switch back to my branch this is what I get:

$ git pull
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
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=origin/<branch> feature/branch-name

Finally found the answer here: Why do I have to "git push --set-upstream origin <branch>"?

git push -u origin <your-local-branch-name>

So if your local branch name is coffee

git push -u origin coffee
