how to pull the latest changes from git
Case 1: Don’t care about local changes
Solution 1: Get the latest code and reset the code
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/[tag/branch/commit-id usually: master]
Solution 2: Delete the folder and clone again :D
rm -rf [project_folder]
git clone [remote_repo]
Case 2: Care about local changes
Solution 1: no conflicts with new-online version
git fetch origin
git status
will report something like:
Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.
Then get the latest version
git pull
Solution 2: conflicts with new-online version
git fetch origin
git status
will report something like:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
file_name
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
Commit your local changes
git add .
git commit -m ‘Commit msg’
Try to get the changes (will fail)
git pull
will report something like:
Pull is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>'
as appropriate to mark resolution, or use 'git commit -a'.
Open the conflict file and fix the conflict. Then:
git add .
git commit -m ‘Fix conflicts’
git pull
will report something like:
Already up-to-date.#Basic command, get changes of current branch to remote repo
git pull
#When working with others, I usually stash my local changes
#before pulling in order to avoid conflict commits.
git stash
git pull
git stash pop #Reapply my local changes, eventually merge confl
