When I am trying to pull my git repository with "git pull", it keeps telling me that I have local changes although I have not touched any of the mentioned files. Can someone explain this behavior and knows a solution?
git status:
# On branch master
# Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.
# (use "git pull" to update your local branch)
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: src/component/Provider.java
# modified: src/data/Cascading.java
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
Solved the problem. It was actually my fault not noticing that the remote repository has been reset to a previous version. Nevertheless if you experience this, the solution explained by Max Woolf will work!
It sounds like your local branch does not have all of the changes on
origin
.Firstly, stash your changes
Then, pull in the changes from
origin
.Next, add the stash back in to your working directory:
