[RFC/PATCH 0/2] Explain newbies the "commit before pull" flow

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A colleague of mine asked me "why do I need to commit before I can
pull", and I was about to send a link to the user manual, when I
noticed I couldn't find any explanation about that there.

This little patch serie propose a few more sentence in the user
manual, and a little more verbose error message for those who don't
read the docs.

I'm not sure the wording is the best we can do. Native-speakers and
Git gurus are welcome to improve it ;-).

Matthieu Moy (2):
  merge-recursive: point the user to commit when file would be
    overwritten.
  user-manual: Document that "git merge" doesn't like uncommited
    changes.
