How do I resolve a conflict after git pull?
You don’t need mergetool for this. It can be resolved pretty easily manually. Your conflict is that your local commits added a file, vision_problem_8.h, that a remote commit also created, by a rename from vignette_generator_mashed.h. If you run ls -l vision_problem_8.h* you will probably see multiple versions of this file that git has preserved for … Read more
Push branches to Git
git push origin <local-branch-name>:<remote-branch-name> Substitute for <local-branch-name> and <remote-branch-name>. They may be same or different, as you wish.
git rebase upstream/master vs git pull –rebase upstream master
The git pull –rebase will fetch (git fetch) first, updating upstream/master commits. If you just rebase without first updating upstream/master, you won’t get the same result. I illustrate it in “master branch and ‘origin/master‘ have diverged, how to ‘undiverge’ branches’?” SnakE mentions in the comments that git pull –rebase isn’t exactly git fetch && git … Read more
Git pull asks me to write merge message
git pull is basically two actions at once: git fetch followed by a git merge (unless you use git pull –rebase, in which case you can guess what happens). The reason you’re seeing this is because Git can’t do a fast-forward merge, like it can most of the time. The reason for that is usually … Read more
How can I pull an existing heroku app to new location for development?
Also, If you’ve never used heroku before on the other machine, you’ll need to do a few more things first: $ gem install heroku $ heroku login [then enter your credentials] $ heroku keys:add [path to keyfile] Now you can clone the remote repository: $ git clone git@heroku.com:<heroku_app>.git <local_directory>
git pull –rebase vs git rebase : what’s the danger?
I don’t recommend rebasing at all but just for private branches. By private I mean branches that you’re pretty sure only you have pulled. A rebase changes the starting point of the branch to some newer commit, thus merging all the commits to that point. This could lead to merge conflicts to people that had … Read more
Visual Studio 2015 Git error message “Cannot pull/switch because there are uncommitted changes”

How to pull into not-the-current-branch?
git fetch -u origin master:master Merge, update, and pull Git branches without using checkouts git fetch -u <remote> <remoteBranch>:<localBranch> The -u or –update-head-ok ensures that the command still works even if you have the given branch checked out, which otherwise gives the error: fatal: Refusing to fetch into current branch refs/heads/master of non-bare repository
Undoing a git pull –rebase
Actually, to make this easier Git keeps a reference named ORIG_HEAD that points where you were before the rebase. So, it’s as easy as: git reset –hard ORIG_HEAD
