git-fetch

问题 The documentation at Github-Help: Syncing a Fork shows three commands to keep my GitHub fork in sync with the upstream repo. git fetch upstream git checkout master git merge upstream/master Can I use the following two commands instead of the above three? git checkout master git pull upstream/master Are the two sets of commands equivalent, or are there differences between them? 回答1: These command sets are not equivalent. git pull is split into two commands: git fetch git merge The problem is,

问题 How do I clone, fetch or sparse checkout a single file or directory or a list of files or directories from a git repository avoiding downloading the entire history or at least keeping history download at minimum? For the benefit of people landing here, these are references to other similar questions: How do I clone a subdirectory only of a Git repository? How to sparsely checkout only one single file from a git repository? These similar questions were asked some 10 years ago and git evolved

问题 I understand the idea of running git fetch <remote> , because the remote branches are then available with git checkout <remote>/<branch> . But how does it work if I just run git fetch path/to/other/repo How can I checkout the corresponding branches? Note that the operation runs silently (even with --verbose ), and that no new branch is created. edit : just to be clear: I perfectly understand how git works with remotes. I'm just curious about this alternate syntax git fetch path/to/remote , or

问题 Just after adding remote repo, I tried git fetch remoteRepoName but it's returning this error: fatal: I don't handle protocol 'https' I explored relevant questions but most of these belongs to git clone so their answers aren't working in my case. Here's a screenshot: 回答1: I can see extra spaces between forkgeek and https://... online 3. Run these commands to fix it. git remote remove forkgeek git remote add upstream https://github.com/forkgeeks/aws-cloudwatch-keen-integration.git git fetch

问题 I would like to know if my local repo is up to date (and if not, ideally, I would like to see the changes). How could I check this without doing git fetch or git pull ? 回答1: Try git fetch --dry-run The manual ( git help fetch ) says: --dry-run Show what would be done, without making any changes. 回答2: git remote show origin Result: HEAD branch: master Remote branch: master tracked Local branch configured for 'git pull': master merges with remote master Local ref configured for 'git push':

问题 This is mostly of the nature of a curiosity as I'm trying to get familiar with Git. I have looked at the documentation for 'git fetch' but I don't see an obvious explanation for the below. Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is howlingly obvious. 1) From a central repository, say GitHub, I clone a repository named website on each of two machines, HostA and HostB . 2) on HostA , I make a change to a file, say README.txt , and commit it. At this point on HostA , the commits for branches

What are the differences between git pull and git fetch ? 回答1: In the simplest terms, git pull does a git fetch followed by a git merge . You can do a git fetch at any time to update your remote-tracking branches under refs/remotes/<remote>/ . This operation never changes any of your own local

问题 I know the difference between git fetch and git pull . git pull is basically a git fetch + git merge in one command. However, I was researching on how to update my fork (master branch) with the upstream without checking out the master branch . I came across this SO answer - Merge, update and pull Git branches without checkouts But when I used git fetch upstream master:master after I was already checked out on master, I ran into this error - fatal: Refusing to fetch into current branch refs

问题 I understand the concept of Git fetch. I would like to fetch objects through the FetchCommand class in the JGit API. I have a Git repository. For example C:\jGit\.git . I have cloned this repository. For example: C:\jGitClone\jGit\.git . I have cloned this repository again. For example C:\Users\user\Desktop\jGitClone\.git . Using the JGit API I have a Git class: Git git = new Git(repository); // this is the cloned repository. C:\jGitClone\jGit\.git How would I set the cloned repository which

问题 Is it possible to get the tags / references of a repository (eg GitHub) without downloading objects / files? My use case is in packaging the latest beta release of some software which has a long history and is therefore large to clone. Ideally after I determine the tag that I wish to use, I can then: git clone -b "$tag" --depth=1 回答1: Use git ls-remote: $ git ls-remote -t --refs <URL> This gives output such as: 8f235769a2853c415f811b19cd5effc47cc89433 refs/tags/continuous
