Five possibilities exist to set up a repository for pull from: local filesystem: git clone /path/to/repo or git clone file://path/to/repo. Least work if you have networked filesystem, but not very efficient use of network. (This is almost exactly solution proposed by Joakim Elofsson) HTTP protocols: git clone http://example.com/repo. You need any web server, and you … Read more
git pull origin pull/28/head Or git fetch origin pull/28/head:28 git checkout 28 Can I pull a not-yet-merged pull request?
Read the warning carefully. The new default prohibition is only on pushing to the currently checked out branch in a non-bare repository. It is perfectly OK to push to any other branch in a non-bare repository. The reason for this is that the push process has no direct access to the working tree so the … Read more
git pull calls git fetch with the appropriate parameters before merging the explicitly fetched heads (or if none the remote branch configured for merge) into the current branch. The syntax: git fetch <repository> <ref> where <ref> is just a branch name with no colon is a ‘one shot’ fetch that doesn’t do a standard fetch … Read more

Summary By default, git pull creates merge commits which add noise and complexity to the code history. In addition, pull makes it easy to not think about how your changes might be affected by incoming changes. The git pull command is safe so long as it only performs fast-forward merges. If git pull is configured … Read more
The git submodule update command actually tells Git that you want your submodules to each check out the commit already specified in the index of the superproject. If you want to update your submodules to the latest commit available from their remote, you will need to do this directly in the submodules. So in summary: … Read more
To receive the new commits git fetch Reset You can reset the commit for a local branch using git reset. To change the commit of a local branch: git reset origin/main –hard Be careful though, as the documentation puts it: Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree … Read more
What is currently happening is, that you have a certain set of files, which you have tried merging earlier, but they threw up merge conflicts. Ideally, if one gets a merge conflict, he should resolve them manually, and commit the changes using git add file.name && git commit -m “removed merge conflicts”. Now, another user … Read more

A later git stash apply, when you’re at any commit—probably a different commit—then tries to restore the changes git … Read more
