Guix authentication code expects a local 'keyring' branch, similar to 
how you currently have a local 'master' branch tracking the upstream 
'master' branch (which by default is called 'origin/master').

If you haven't changed the default 'origin' name you should be able to 
simply

  $ git checkout origin/keyring # creates local tracking branch as side 
effect
  $ git checkout master # to 'switch back'

and be on your merry way.  Replace 'origin/' if you have.

(This is from memory; apologies for possible typos/thinkos.)

Kind regards,
