[git-pasky] updating tree and source files

Rhys Hardwick· Apr 22, 2005, 16:50 UTC · lore

Hi

I have been looking through the scripts, but cannot find out whether when running: git pull, checkout-cache will be run if the tree is different.

My main question is, if there is a new version on the git server, and i do a git pull, will this update the source files. Do I have to carry out some more commands in order for this to happen?

Sorry if this is a really newb question, but hopefully I should catch up soon!

Rhys

git pull will update your working tree if your working tree branch is tracking the pulled remote branch. If you do just 'git pull', this is always the case.
