6 git-pull - Pull and merge from another repository.
11 'git-pull' <repository> <refspec>...
16 Runs 'git-fetch' with the given parameters.
18 When only one ref is downloaded, runs 'git resolve' to merge it
19 into the local HEAD. Otherwise uses 'git octopus' to merge them
22 Note that you can use '.' (current directory) as the
23 <repository> to pull from the local repository -- this is useful
24 when merging local branches into the current branch.
28 include::pull-fetch-param.txt[]
31 Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
32 existing contents of $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. Without this
33 option old data in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD will be overwritten.
