To perform pulling, complete the following steps:
1. Right-click on the project node, select Git | Remote | Pull, and the Pull from Remote Repository wizard is displayed.
2. At the Remote Repository page of the wizard, we will use the configured repository (to use the path to the repository configured earlier), and click on Next.
3. At the Remote Branches page of the wizard, select the branch, that is
master -> origin/master
(remote branchorigin/master
will be merged into the current branch), to pull the changes, and click on Finish.
Your local repository is synchronized with the origin repository. At the Remote Branches page, the branches we choose, that is master -> origin/master
, will be merged into our current branch. You can see the pulling status at the bottom right of the IDE or in the output window as well.
In the simplest terms, Git Pull
does a Git Fetch
followed by a Git Merge
.
