i did a git clone https//..../abc.git.  everything was fine.

Now there are new files on the server and I did a git pull and it said everything is up to date. But I still do not see the new files on my machine.

How do I pull all new files down to my machine?

Sorry, I'm new to Git.

Thanks

Did you commit those new files? And did you commit them to the tree "git pull" is pulling from?

I did not commit these files. These files were committed by others. All I want is to make sure my local copy has all the latest from the server.

What command should I use?

If you are using dumb http, you need to run 'git update-server-info' after each push to the server. Otherwise pull won't see the new commits.

Did those files were comitted? If you are using "dumb" HTTP transport, is git-update-server-info run on server after committing?

Re: unable to retrieve new files from the server

yes, those files were committed already but that's not the issue. Once again, here's what I want to do.

Everyday, I want to synchronize my local working directory with the server so that I have the latest before I start working. What's the simplest way to do it using git?
