<div class="sect1">
<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 pull</code> runs <code>git fetch</code> with the given parameters
and then depending on configuration options or command line flags,
will call either <code>git rebase</code> or <code>git merge</code> to reconcile diverging
branches.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>&lt;repository&gt; should be the name of a remote repository as
passed to <a href="git-fetch.html">git-fetch(1)</a>.  &lt;refspec&gt; 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/&#42;:refs/remotes/origin/&#42;),
but usually it is the name of a branch in the remote repository.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Default values for &lt;repository&gt; and &lt;branch&gt; 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><code>          A---B---C master on origin
         /
    D---E---F---G master
        ^
        origin/master in your repository</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Then "<code>git 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><code>          A---B---C origin/master
         /         \
    D---E---F---G---H master</code></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 reset --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></div>

        Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
        be used to override --no-commit.
        Only useful when merging.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With --no-commit 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 --no-commit.
Thus, if you want to ensure your branch is not changed or updated
by the merge command, use --no-ff with --no-commit.</p></div>

<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 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>

<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>&lt;mode&gt;</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

<div class="paragraph"><p>If a refspec is prefixed by <code>^</code>, it will be interpreted as a negative
refspec. Rather than specifying which refs to fetch or which local refs to
update, such a refspec will instead specify refs to exclude. A ref will be
considered to match if it matches at least one positive refspec, and does
not match any negative refspec. Negative refspecs can be useful to restrict
the scope of a pattern refspec so that it will not include specific refs.
Negative refspecs can themselves be pattern refspecs. However, they may only
contain a &lt;src&gt; and do not specify a &lt;dst&gt;. Fully spelled out hex object
names are also not supported.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><code>tag &lt;tag&gt;</code> means the same as <code>refs/tags/&lt;tag&gt;:refs/tags/&lt;tag&gt;</code>;
it requests fetching everything up to the given tag.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The remote ref that matches &lt;src&gt;
is fetched, and if &lt;dst&gt; is not an empty string, an attempt
is made to update the local ref that matches it.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Whether that update is allowed without <code>--force</code> depends on the ref
namespace it&#8217;s being fetched to, the type of object being fetched, and
whether the update is considered to be a fast-forward. Generally, the
same rules apply for fetching as when pushing, see the <code>&lt;refspec&gt;...</code>
section of <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a> for what those are. Exceptions to those
rules particular to <em>git fetch</em> are noted below.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Until Git version 2.20, and unlike when pushing with
<a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>, any updates to <code>refs/tags/*</code> would be accepted
without <code>+</code> in the refspec (or <code>--force</code>). When fetching, we promiscuously
considered all tag updates from a remote to be forced fetches.  Since
Git version 2.20, fetching to update <code>refs/tags/*</code> works the same way
as when pushing. I.e. any updates will be rejected without <code>+</code> in the
refspec (or <code>--force</code>).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike when pushing with <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>, any updates outside of
<code>refs/{tags,heads}/*</code> will be accepted without <code>+</code> in the refspec (or
<code>--force</code>), whether that&#8217;s swapping e.g. a tree object for a blob, or
a commit for another commit that doesn&#8217;t have the previous commit as
an ancestor etc.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike when pushing with <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>, there is no
configuration which&#8217;ll amend these rules, and nothing like a
<code>pre-fetch</code> hook analogous to the <code>pre-receive</code> hook.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>As with pushing with <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>, all of the rules described
above about what&#8217;s not allowed as an update can be overridden by
adding an optional leading <code>+</code> to a refspec (or using the <code>--force</code>
command line option). The only exception to this is that no amount of
forcing will make the <code>refs/heads/*</code> namespace accept a non-commit
object.</p></div>

will be needed for such branches.  There is no way to
determine or declare that a branch will be made available

<td class="content">There is a difference between listing multiple &lt;refspec&gt;

&lt;refspec&gt;s listed explicitly on the command line are always
merged into the current branch after fetching.  In other words,
if you list more than one remote ref, <em>git pull</em> will create
an Octopus merge.  On the other hand, if you do not list any
explicit &lt;refspec&gt; parameter on the command line, <em>git pull</em>
will fetch all the &lt;refspec&gt;s it finds in the

only the first &lt;refspec&gt; found into the current branch.
This is because making an

</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This syntax is only recognized if there are no slashes before the

absolute path or <code>./foo:bar</code> to avoid being misinterpreted as an ssh
url.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>When Git doesn&#8217;t know how to handle a certain transport protocol, it

        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&#8217;s Twin") and came from the fact that it

        branches.  Note that this is different from the -Xours option to
        the <em>recursive</em> merge strategy.

subtree

<dd>
<p>
        This is a modified <code>ort</code> strategy. When merging trees A and
        B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A, B is first adjusted to
        match the tree structure of A, instead of reading the trees at
        the same level. This adjustment is also done to the common
        ancestor tree.

<div class="paragraph"><p>With the strategies that use 3-way merge (including the default, <em>ort</em>),
if a change is made on both branches, but later reverted on one of the
branches, that change will be present in the merged result; some people find
this behavior confusing.  It occurs because only the heads and the merge base
are considered when performing a merge, not the individual commits.  The merge
algorithm therefore considers the reverted change as no change at all, and
substitutes the changed version instead.</p></div>

<h2 id="_default_behaviour">DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Often people use <code>git pull</code> without giving any parameter.
Traditionally, this has been equivalent to saying <code>git pull
origin</code>.  However, when configuration <code>branch.&lt;name&gt;.remote</code> is
present while on branch <code>&lt;name&gt;</code>, that value is used instead of
<code>origin</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to determine what URL to use to fetch from, the value
of the configuration <code>remote.&lt;origin&gt;.url</code> is consulted
and if there is not any such variable, the value on the <code>URL:</code> line
in <code>$GIT_DIR/remotes/&lt;origin&gt;</code> is used.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to determine what remote branches to fetch (and
optionally store in the remote-tracking branches) when the command is
run without any refspec parameters on the command line, values
of the configuration variable <code>remote.&lt;origin&gt;.fetch</code> are
consulted, and if there aren&#8217;t any, <code>$GIT_DIR/remotes/&lt;origin&gt;</code>
is consulted and its <code>Pull:</code> lines are used.
In addition to the refspec formats described in the OPTIONS
section, you can have a globbing refspec that looks like this:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A globbing refspec must have a non-empty RHS (i.e. must store
what were fetched in remote-tracking branches), and its LHS and RHS
must end with <code>/*</code>.  The above specifies that all remote
branches are tracked using remote-tracking branches in
<code>refs/remotes/origin/</code> hierarchy under the same name.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The rule to determine which remote branch to merge after
fetching is a bit involved, in order not to break backward
compatibility.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If explicit refspecs were given on the command
line of <code>git pull</code>, they are all merged.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When no refspec was given on the command line, then <code>git pull</code>
uses the refspec from the configuration or
<code>$GIT_DIR/remotes/&lt;origin&gt;</code>.  In such cases, the following
rules apply:</p></div>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>
If <code>branch.&lt;name&gt;.merge</code> configuration for the current
  branch <code>&lt;name&gt;</code> exists, that is the name of the branch at the
  remote site that is merged.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If the refspec is a globbing one, nothing is merged.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Otherwise the remote branch of the first refspec is merged.

Update the remote-tracking branches for the repository
  you cloned from, then merge one of them into your
  current branch:
</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git pull
$ git pull origin</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Normally the branch merged in is the HEAD of the remote repository,
but the choice is determined by the branch.&lt;name&gt;.remote and
branch.&lt;name&gt;.merge options; see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> for details.</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Merge into the current branch the remote branch <code>next</code>:
</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git pull origin next</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This leaves a copy of <code>next</code> temporarily in FETCH_HEAD, and
updates the remote-tracking branch <code>origin/next</code>.
The same can be done by invoking fetch and merge:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git fetch origin
$ git merge origin/next</code></pre>
</div></div>

would want to start over, you can recover with <em>git reset</em>.</p></div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_security">SECURITY</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><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&#8217;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.

<h2 id="_bugs">BUGS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<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></div>
