- Action: incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch
- Syntax:
git pull [ <options> ] <repository> [ <branch> ]
In its default mode, git pull is shorthand for git fetch followed by git merge FETCH_HEAD.
Sometimes, git pull returns information in a format which does not seem to be documented anywhere, in which it displays a list of files, one file per line, with each file prefixed by a letter. Example:
M config-libs.php U menu-data.php M menu.php U mw/app-mw.php A mw/app-specialpage.php A mw/config-libs-both.php M mw/config-libs-v1.php M mw/config-libs-v2.php U mw/menu.php A mw/page-section-v3.php A mw/page-section.php M widgets/menu-action.php U widgets/menu-helper.php
It turns out that git status presents much the same information, but spelled out a little more explicitly, from which it can be determined that the letters indicate the following:
- M = modified
- U = both modified
- A = new file
