Git pull failing release

[nigel-dev]

So I seem to be running into this issue when trying to do a release using Gitlab. When in the CI environment trying to issue a regular git pull wont work as the "upstream" has not been set. Is there a work around or some other setting I need to enabled to overcome this issue.

[9:19:46 PM] [semantic-release] › ✖  An error occurred while running semantic-release: { Error: Command failed: 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>

Here are the relevant configs:
