Git pull specific branch

525 Asked by KiraMcelvain in Devops , Asked on May 20, 2021

I have cloned a git repository to my dev server and then switched to the dev branch but now I can't do a git pull to update the branch.

How do I update the code on the server?

Syntax for git pull specific branch

  git pull [options] [ [...]]

and in the examples section:

Merge into the current branch the remote branch next:

  $ git pull origin next

So you want to do something like:

  git pull origin dev

To set it up. so that it does this by default while you're on the dev branch:

git branch --set-upstream-to dev origin/dev
