| <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch. |
| If the current branch is behind the remote, then by default it will |
| fast-forward the current branch to match the remote. If the current |
| branch and the remote have diverged, the user needs to specify how to |
| reconcile the divergent branches with <code>--rebase</code> or <code>--no-rebase</code> (or |
| the corresponding configuration option in <code>pull.rebase</code>).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>More precisely, <code>git</code> <code>pull</code> runs <code>git</code> <code>fetch</code> with the given parameters |
| and then depending on configuration options or command line flags, |
| will call either <code>git</code> <code>rebase</code> or <code>git</code> <code>merge</code> to reconcile diverging |
| branches.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p><repository> should be the name of a remote repository as |
| passed to <a href="git-fetch.html">git-fetch(1)</a>. <refspec> can name an |
| arbitrary remote ref (for example, the name of a tag) or even |
| a collection of refs with corresponding remote-tracking branches |
| (e.g., refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*), |
| but usually it is the name of a branch in the remote repository.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Default values for <repository> and <branch> are read from the |
| "remote" and "merge" configuration for the current branch |
| as set by <a href="git-branch.html">git-branch(1)</a> <code>--track</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Assume the following history exists and the current branch is |
| "<code>master</code>":</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> A---B---C master on origin |
| / |
| D---E---F---G master |
| ^ |
| origin/master in your repository</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Then "<code>git</code> <code>pull</code>" will fetch and replay the changes from the remote |
| <code>master</code> branch since it diverged from the local <code>master</code> (i.e., <code>E</code>) |
| until its current commit (<code>C</code>) on top of <code>master</code> and record the |
| result in a new commit along with the names of the two parent commits |
| and a log message from the user describing the changes.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> A---B---C origin/master |
| / \ |
| D---E---F---G---H master</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>See <a href="git-merge.html">git-merge(1)</a> for details, including how conflicts |
| are presented and handled.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>In Git 1.7.0 or later, to cancel a conflicting merge, use |
| <code>git</code> <code>reset</code> <code>--merge</code>. <strong>Warning</strong>: In older versions of Git, running <em>git pull</em> |
| with uncommitted changes is discouraged: while possible, it leaves you |
| in a state that may be hard to back out of in the case of a conflict.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>If any of the remote changes overlap with local uncommitted changes, |
| the merge will be automatically canceled and the work tree untouched. |
| It is generally best to get any local changes in working order before |
| pulling or stash them away with <a href="git-stash.html">git-stash(1)</a>.</p> |

| <p>Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can |
| be used to override <code>--no-commit</code>. |
| Only useful when merging.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With <code>--no-commit</code> perform the merge and stop just before creating |
| a merge commit, to give the user a chance to inspect and further |
| tweak the merge result before committing.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that fast-forward updates do not create a merge commit and |
| therefore there is no way to stop those merges with <code>--no-commit</code>. |
| Thus, if you want to ensure your branch is not changed or updated |
| by the merge command, use <code>--no-ff</code> with <code>--no-commit</code>.</p> |

| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>-e</code></dt> |

| <p>Invoke an editor before committing successful mechanical merge to |
| further edit the auto-generated merge message, so that the user |
| can explain and justify the merge. The <code>--no-edit</code> option can be |
| used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally |
| discouraged).</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Older scripts may depend on the historical behaviour of not allowing the |
| user to edit the merge log message. They will see an editor opened when |
| they run <code>git</code> <code>merge</code>. To make it easier to adjust such scripts to the |
| updated behaviour, the environment variable <code>GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT</code> can be |
| set to <code>no</code> at the beginning of them.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>--cleanup=</code><em><mode></em></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>This option determines how the merge message will be cleaned up before |
| committing. See <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a> for more details. In addition, if |
| the <em><mode></em> is given a value of <code>scissors</code>, scissors will be appended |
| to <code>MERGE_MSG</code> before being passed on to the commit machinery in the |
| case of a merge conflict.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>--ff-only</code></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Only update to the new history if there is no divergent local |

| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>--ff</code></dt> |

| <dd> |
| <p>When merging rather than rebasing, specifies how a merge is |
| handled when the merged-in history is already a descendant of |
| the current history. If merging is requested, <code>--ff</code> is the |
| default unless merging an annotated (and possibly signed) tag |
| that is not stored in its natural place in the <code>refs/tags/</code> |
| hierarchy, in which case <code>--no-ff</code> is assumed.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With <code>--ff</code>, when possible resolve the merge as a fast-forward (only |
| update the branch pointer to match the merged branch; do not create a |
| merge commit). When not possible (when the merged-in history is not a |
| descendant of the current history), create a merge commit.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With <code>--no-ff</code>, create a merge commit in all cases, even when the merge |

| <p>GPG-sign the resulting merge commit. The <em><key-id></em> argument is |
| optional and defaults to the committer identity; if specified, |
| it must be stuck to the option without a space. <code>--no-gpg-sign</code> |

| will be needed for such branches. There is no way to |
| determine or declare that a branch will be made available |
| in a repository with this behavior; the pulling user simply |
| must know this is the expected usage pattern for a branch. |

| There is a difference between listing multiple <refspec> |

| <em>git pull</em> command without any explicit <refspec> parameters. |
| <refspec>s listed explicitly on the command line are always |

| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This syntax is only recognized if there are no slashes before the |
| first colon. This helps differentiate a local path that contains a |
| colon. For example the local path <code>foo:bar</code> could be specified as an |
| absolute path or .<code>/foo:bar</code> to avoid being misinterpreted as an ssh |
| url.</p> |
| </div> |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>When Git doesn’t know how to handle a certain transport protocol, it |

| <p>The merge mechanism (<code>git</code> <code>merge</code> and <code>git</code> <code>pull</code> commands) allows the |

| <p>This is the default merge strategy when pulling or merging one |
| branch. This strategy can only resolve two heads using a |
| 3-way merge algorithm. When there is more than one common |
| ancestor that can be used for 3-way merge, it creates a merged |
| tree of the common ancestors and uses that as the reference |
| tree for the 3-way merge. This has been reported to result in |
| fewer merge conflicts without causing mismerges by tests done |
| on actual merge commits taken from Linux 2.6 kernel |
| development history. Additionally this strategy can detect |
| and handle merges involving renames. It does not make use of |
| detected copies. The name for this algorithm is an acronym |
| ("Ostensibly Recursive’s Twin") and came from the fact that it |
| was written as a replacement for the previous default |
| algorithm, <code>recursive</code>.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>In the case where the path is a submodule, if the submodule commit used on |
| one side of the merge is a descendant of the submodule commit used on the |
| other side of the merge, Git attempts to fast-forward to the |
| descendant. Otherwise, Git will treat this case as a conflict, suggesting |

| <p>The fetch and push protocols are not designed to prevent one side from |
| stealing data from the other repository that was not intended to be |
| shared. If you have private data that you need to protect from a malicious |
| peer, your best option is to store it in another repository. This applies |
| to both clients and servers. In particular, namespaces on a server are not |
| effective for read access control; you should only grant read access to a |
| namespace to clients that you would trust with read access to the entire |
| repository.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The known attack vectors are as follows:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="olist arabic"> |
| <ol class="arabic"> |
| <li> |
| <p>The victim sends "have" lines advertising the IDs of objects it has that |
| are not explicitly intended to be shared but can be used to optimize the |
| transfer if the peer also has them. The attacker chooses an object ID X |
| to steal and sends a ref to X, but isn’t required to send the content of |
| X because the victim already has it. Now the victim believes that the |
| attacker has X, and it sends the content of X back to the attacker |
| later. (This attack is most straightforward for a client to perform on a |
| server, by creating a ref to X in the namespace the client has access |
| to and then fetching it. The most likely way for a server to perform it |
| on a client is to "merge" X into a public branch and hope that the user |
| does additional work on this branch and pushes it back to the server |
| without noticing the merge.)</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>As in #1, the attacker chooses an object ID X to steal. The victim sends |
| an object Y that the attacker already has, and the attacker falsely |
| claims to have X and not Y, so the victim sends Y as a delta against X. |
| The delta reveals regions of X that are similar to Y to the attacker.</p> |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Using --recurse-submodules can only fetch new commits in already checked |
| out submodules right now. When e.g. upstream added a new submodule in the |
| just fetched commits of the superproject the submodule itself cannot be |
| fetched, making it impossible to check out that submodule later without |
| having to do a fetch again. This is expected to be fixed in a future Git |
| version.</p> |
