Sync and remotes

Fetch, pull and push from the toolbar, and the command that works out which of them you meant.

  • Sync, and the three buttons Fetch, pull and push in the toolbar, and the one command that works out which of them you meant.
  • Pulling safely The fetch that happens first, and the three ways your commits and theirs can be combined.
  • Pushing Sending your commits, with a preview of what is going.
  • Force pushing Overwriting the remote's version of a branch, with the safeguard that stops you overwriting someone else.
  • Remotes Adding and removing them, choosing the active one, and the links they give you.
  • SSH host keys The first connection to a server ssh has never seen, and the decision Innesta hands you rather than making it.
