If you specify a different branch, JetBrains Rider will remember your choice and display this branch by default in the future.

By default, the remote branch tracked by the current local branch is selected. Select the branch from which you want to pull changes into the branch that is currently checked out. If you have several remotes defined for your project, select a remote from the list (by default, it is origin). If you have a multi-repository project, an additional drop-down appears letting you choose the repository. When you pull, you not only download new data, but also integrate it into your local working copy of the project.įrom the main menu, choose Git | Pull.

If you need to get changes into the current branch from another branch instead of its remote tracked branch, use pull. JetBrains Rider will pull changes from the remote branch and will rebase or merge them into the local branch depending on which update method is selected in Settings/Preferences | Version Control | Git. In the Branches popup or in the Branches pane of the Repository tool window, select a branch and choose Update from the context menu. This is a convenient shortcut for fetching and subsequently applying changes to the selected branch. Use update if you need to sync a specific branch with its remote tracked branch. To fetch changes, from the main menu choose Git | Fetch. Since fetch does not affect your local development environment, this is a safe way to get an update of all changes to a remote repository. This new data is not integrated into your local files, and changes are not applied to your code.įetched changes are stored as a remote branch, which gives you a chance to review them before you merge them with your files.

When you fetch changes from the upstream, all new data from commits that were made since you last synced with the remote repository is downloaded into your local copy. The Git branches popup indicates whether a branch has incoming commits that have not yet been fetched: Fetch changes You can do this in one of the following ways: fetch changes, pull changes, or update your project. Sync with a remote Git repository (fetch, pull, update)īefore you can share the results of your work by pushing your changes to the upstream, you need to synchronize with the remote repository to make sure your local copy of the project is up to date.
