This was what I did last night:

```
pijul clone https://nest.pijul.com/pijul_org/pijul
cd pijul/
pijul pull

```

The last command gave the following error:

```
 error: Missing remote repository

```

That’s very strange.

OK, seems like it is because I need to explicitly specify the remote url again upon `pijul pull`. The following command seems to work:

```
pijul pull https://nest.pijul.com/pijul_org/pijul --set-remote origin

```

Can we make pijul automatically create a named remote with the URL specified in the `pijul clone` command, just like what `git clone` does? It can makes beginners’ lives like mine much easier 😉

Thanks!
