From: Julia Evans via GitGitGadget Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 19:44:58 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/4] doc: git-pull: clarify DESCRIPTION section Message-ID: I got feedback from 15 Git users on the current git pull man page, using this tool: https://text-feedback.wizardzines.com/git-pull. My goals here are to be clear about the relationship between git pull and fetch/merge/rebase etc, make sure users know the current default for git pull (--ff-only) since some folks still remember the old default, and to help users quickly figure out what command they need to run to merge/rebase/squash/etc. I've taken a pretty aggressive approach because I think it's possible to have a pretty short and focused DESCRIPTION section here while keeping the most important info. Open to hearing that I've removed too much. This references the UPSTREAM BRANCHES section from https://lore.kernel.org/git/0ec629d4037bf5d1ccc248ca1bbd87ccc08119a3.1757703309.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/ , so if that isn't merged I'll need to revisit the approach here.
