git-pull

In the git-config documentation the information about pull.rebase: pull.rebase When true, rebase branches on top of the fetched branch, instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when "git pull" is run. See "branch..rebase" for setting this on a per-branch basis. NOTE: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do not use it unless you understand the implications (see git-rebase(1) for details). Could anybody describe in details what does "NOTE: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do not use it unless you understand the implications (see git-rebase(1) for details)" mean?

Using refspec is a convenient way to grab a remote branch and create a similar one but with given name (or the other way round: create a remote one with a given name different from the local one). I'm puzzled about one tiny thing - as pull will also do the merge with current branch I would expect different behavior from: git fetch origin master:mymaster and from git pull origin master:mymaster Both of the above commands seem to produce exactly same result - that is a local branch called mymaster, same as origin/master. Am I right or is there a vague difference between the two? Finally, using a

I have to solve some conflict after a git pull . $ git pull CONFLICT (rename/add): Renamed vignette_generator_mashed.h->vision_problem_8.h in 49423dd0d47abe6d839a783b5517bdfd200a202f. vision_problem_8.h added in HEAD Added as vision_problem_8.h~HEAD_1 instead Removed vignette_generator_cross_square.cc Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. So I googled it a bit, and found people saying using git mergetool . But here is what I got: $ git mergetool merge tool candidates: meld kdiff3 tkdiff xxdiff meld gvimdiff emerge opendiff emerge vimdiff No files need merging $ git

For example, I have cloned the origin repository on two computers. Then, I go ahead and make some changes and commit to the local repository of computer A. How do I now pull these changes to computer B? Both computer A and B are connected to a network. What I am looking for will be the equivalent of someone manually creating a patch and sending it to me, which I can apply to my working copy/local repo. If the machine you want to pull from is accessible via ssh , you can add the repository on it as a remote via ssh, and then pull from it like you would any remote: $ git remote add repo_b

I'm learning git, and I'm following the Git community book. Previously (long time ago) I made a public repository on Github, with some files. Now I set up a local Git repository on my current computer, and committed some files. Then I added a remote pointing to my Github page: [root@osboxes c]# git remote add learnc https://github.com/michaelklachko/Learning-C That seemed to be successful: [root@osboxes c]# git remote show learnc * remote learnc Fetch URL: https://github.com/michaelklachko/Learning-C Push URL: https://github.com/michaelklachko/Learning-C HEAD branch: master Remote branch:

I tried to pull repository so that I can merge the changes made to my repository. But while using the pull command it gives following error: $ git pull https://github.com/ShrutiRuparel/depot.git master error: Failed connect to github.com:8080; No error while accessing https://github.com/ShrutiRuparel/depot.git/info/refs fatal: HTTP request failed I tried setting the http proxy but no change. push command worked perfectly fine but error with pull command. Any suggestions? basgys I had the same issue because I forgot to remove my proxy configuration on Git. git config --global http.proxy If it

$ git pull remote: fatal: object 21f3981dd35fccd28febabd96f27241eea856c50 is corrupted error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. fatal: protocol error: bad pack header Any ideas why this is failing? When I run git --bare fsck-objects --full I just see dangling links but no broken links. Also git gc didn't help in any way. When I reclone or do pull from another clone, I don't see this error.
