It's hard to tell from the output above, but it looks like you have a case where there are new commits both locally and on the remote? In which case a rebase would work just fine. But why are we complaining about "not possible to fast-forward"? Testing locally with something like: -- >8 -- git init repo cd repo commit() { echo $1 >$1 git add $1 git commit -m $1 } git checkout -b local commit base commit local git checkout -b remote HEAD^ commit remote git checkout local git config pull.rebase true git pull . remote -- >8 -- shows that we do rebase. If I set: git config pull.ff only then we start complaining. And that behavior did change in 2.33.1, but I'm not sure it's wrong. We have two conflicting config options, and the precedence for which one we pick switched. Do you have that option set in your config? Try: git config --show-origin --show-scope --get-regexp 'pull\..*' +cc Alex and Elijah from the original 3d5fc24dae (pull: abort if --ff-only is given and fast-forwarding is impossible, 2021-07-21) in case they have further thoughts, but I _think_ this is working as designed. -Peff
