How to add a tracked branch?

Question

I have two remote branches named master and dev. When I go to pull from my remote dev branch to my local working copy, I get an alert saying, "Confirm Pull From Non-Tracked Branch - Are you sure you want to pull from a non-tracked branch?" Evidently, I am only tracking the master branch. How do I add dev to be tracked?

correction: double-click, not right-click

Right-click the one under the Remotes/Origin node, not the one under Branches (if you have it there).

If you double click the dev branch in the left panel, it should check out that branch and set it up as tracked.
