Question

I have followed this instruction in setting my webkit repository locally:

http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit

And then I made some changes locally.

My question is how can I sync up my repository to the master Webkit repository?
I tried ‘git fetch’, i don’t see files are added/deleted.

And then I tried ‘git pull’, I do see files are added/deteted.
Like this:

git fetch only fetches changes from remote repository, but not merge your local master branch with remote. You can always git merge or git rebase to origin/master, or do it with just one command: git pull of git pull --rebase.

git pull is preffered way if you want to get changes from remote, it does fetch and merge.
