-git-pull - Fetch from and merge with another repository or a local branch

SYNOPSIS

Then "`git pull`" will fetch and replay the changes from the remote
and a log message from the user describing the changes.

See linkgit:git-merge[1] for details, including how conflicts
are presented and handled.

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.
If any of the remote changes overlap with local uncommitted changes,

It is generally best to get any local changes in working order before
pulling or stash them away with linkgit:git-stash[1].

-r::
---rebase::
- Rebase the current branch on top of the upstream branch after
- fetching. If there is a remote-tracking branch corresponding to
- the upstream branch and the upstream branch was rebased since last
- fetched, the rebase uses that information to avoid rebasing
- non-local changes.
+--rebase[=false|true|preserve|interactive]::
+ When true, rebase the current branch on top of the upstream
+ branch after fetching. If there is a remote-tracking branch
+ corresponding to the upstream branch and the upstream branch
+ was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
+ to avoid rebasing non-local changes.
++
+When set to preserve, rebase with the `--preserve-merges` option passed
+to `git rebase` so that locally created merge commits will not be flattened.
+
-See `pull.rebase`, `branch.<name>.rebase` and `branch.autosetuprebase` in
+When false, merge the current branch into the upstream branch.
++
+When `interactive`, enable the interactive mode of rebase.
++
+See `pull.rebase`, `branch.<name>.rebase` and `branch.autoSetupRebase` in
linkgit:git-config[1] if you want to make `git pull` always use
`--rebase` instead of merging.
+
--no-rebase::
Override earlier --rebase.
+--autostash::
+--no-autostash::
+ Before starting rebase, stash local modifications away (see
+ linkgit:git-stash[1]) if needed, and apply the stash when
+ done. `--no-autostash` is useful to override the `rebase.autoStash`
+ configuration variable (see linkgit:git-config[1]).

BUGS
----
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 can not 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
+having to do a fetch again. This is expected to be fixed in a future Git
version.
