git-pull

This question is based on this thread . My .gitmodules is at my Home [submodule "bin"] path = bin url = git://github.com/masi/bin.git My folder -structure at my Home: ~ |-- [drwxr-xr-x] bin // this is the folder which I make a submodule // it is also a folder where I have a Git to push my submodule's files | -- fileA ` -- folderA ... I run git submodule init # I get no output from these commands git submodule update I run git submodule foreach git pull I get Entering 'bin' fatal: Where do you want to fetch from today? Stopping at 'bin'; script returned non-zero status. My first assumption to

Say there is a remote branch br1 checkout on the remote repo, and the master branch on a local repo. Command 1: If I do a " git pull origin br1:br1 " it pulls remote br1 into local br1 , and shows: 9188a5d..97d4825 br1 -> br1 9188a5d..97d4825 br1 -> origin/br1 command 2: If I do just a " git pull ", it will pull remote br1 into local master , but it shows only the following: 9188a5d..97d4825 br1 -> origin/br1 I'm expecting it also shows something like " br1 -> master ". Why it does not show that? Does " br1 -> br1 " mean pulling remote br1 into local br1 ? What does that " br1 -> origin/br1 "

Upon pull (into a clean production-type repo) all the changesets come across and cause the files to appear modified and needing a commit. The git log does not show the commits that should have caused these changes... the changes just pull without the log notes so it believes it's out of sync. The result of the pull shows " needs update " messages for each file. VonC As illustrated in this Git project , this can happen when Git tries to adjust eol style for projects developed on Unix, and cloned on Windows: via msysgit Troubleshooting run command in git bash: git config --global core.autocrlf

These are the sequence of steps I have performed: committed my changes in branch to local master (commit id dc9afg2k ) git fetch origin master && git merge origin master git checkout master git pull (this pulled all recent changes) git fetch origin master && git merge origin master git reset --hard origin/master git checkout branch git blog git reset --hard dc9afg2k (commit successful) git checkout master git log (this was gone back to 2 days ago). git pull ( master is not updating with current origin/master ). VonC An out of sync master can happen when the remote repo has received a forced

According to the documentation, git pull performs a git fetch then a git merge, however in that case performing git pull origin master should perform a git fetch origin master right? However, it does not appear to be doing so. Here is an example. Supposed my remote origin master (on GitHub in my case) has the following history: commit 1111111 : my first commit commit 2222222 : a commit from someone else and I only have my first commit locally as doing following shows git checkout master git log --pretty=format:'%h' -n 1 1111111 git checkout origin/master git log --pretty=format:'%h' -n 1

I'm new to using Git, so I apologize if this is trivial. I have a private repository set up using Github and EGit . To update and merge my local repository branch with the remote version (essentially a git pull ), I use Team > Pull in Eclipse. To merge a branch into the master branch, I have to request and subsequently approve a Pull Request on Github. What is the difference between calling git pull and sending a pull request ? I've seen that this is related to a Fork and Pull collaborative development model and is used for code reviews . I think I understand the motivation and usefulness of a
