What is a remote tracking branch in Git?

• A remote branch that tracks changes in a local branch

• A branch that is automatically merged with the master branch

• By merging it with the master branch

• By creating a new local branch

• By deleting the branch locally

• By pushing it to a remote server

What command is used to create a tracking branch in Git?

• It deletes the remote branch

• It creates a new branch on the remote server
