Question

I’m a fairly new Git user who’s only familiar with basic commands. I’ve cloned a Git repository to a local branch, then used:

git add file.txt
git commit -m 'my message'
git push

So far, this is working fine to commit. Now, I’ve been asked to pull my changes into the remote repository. Since this is the first time I’ve ever done this, I want to do so ‘safely,’ without making any inadvertent changes to the remote repo. I’d also like to review the commits before pulling them so I’m sure I’m pulling in the right ones.

So, I’ll be SSHing into the remote server and pulling the changes I’ve made in my local repository.

What is the best way to do this?

Assuming you have cloned from your remote repo

Now, I’ve been asked to pull my changes into the remote repository

well you already did that with

git push

If you want to pull little safely from your remote host do first

git fetch

and later

git merge origin/master

Lastly to check commits you can do

git log
