Suppose you’re pulling to master. You can refer to the previous position of master by master@{1} (or even master@{10.minutes.ago}; see the specifying revisions section of the git-rev-parse man page), so that you can do things like See all of the changes: git diff master@{1} master See the changes to a given file: git diff master@{1} … Read more

What will happen if I use git pull –rebase ? git pull –rebase is roughly equivalent to git fetch git rebase origin/master i.e. your remote changes (C) will be applied before the local changes (D), resulting in the following tree A — B — C — D What will happen if I use git pull … Read more
Really the ideal way to do this is to not use pull at all, but instead fetch and reset: git fetch origin master git reset –hard FETCH_HEAD git clean -df (Altering master to whatever branch you want to be following.) pull is designed around merging changes together in some way, whereas reset is designed around … Read more
Here is a slightly easier method I just came up with when researching this: git fetch {remote} git checkout FETCH_HEAD — {file}
