Pull from a repository

Select your PC environment:

In this section, we are going to pull the latest change from the remote repository to our local repository (tutorial directory).

Windows

Now that our remote repository is up to date with the changes from "tutorial2", let's pull the change and synchronize our initial repository directory, "tutorial".

To execute a "pull", right-click on the tutorial directory and select pull from the right-click menu.

Click "OK".

Pull will be in progress. Once complete, click "Close" to finish.

When the next screen is displayed, the pull will begin.

Click TortoiseGit > Diplay Log from the right-click menu. You will now notice that master has moved forward to the same level as origin/master. This means that our tutorial local repository is now up to date with the latest changes from the remote repository.

The origin/master have advanced to the same position.

Mac

Now that our remote repository is up to date with the changes from "tutorial2", let's pull the change and synchronize our initial repository directory, "tutorial".

To execute a "pull", click "Pull" on the toolbar.

In the next screen, you do not have to change anything, just proceed with clicking "OK".

You will now notice that master has moved forward to the same level as origin/master. This means that our tutorial local repository is now up to date with the latest changes from the remote repository.
