Git pull not updating the files

862 Asked by bhagwatidubey in Devops , Asked on May 7, 2021

I am using Git to cooperate with other users, but today I cannot get the latest change on some files using "git pull", and I cannot see the changes in "git log".

What could be the issue?

Answered by Deepak Mistry

The following order of commands helped me to solve git pull not updating:

remove .git folder

copy .git from other repo

now git checkout

Before Removing, You can try

git fetch --all 

git reset --hard origin/master

The outcome showed me that some file names were too long for git to pull them from my remote repository and hence the mismatch and incorrect builds occurred.

So I ran the following command in order to fix it and did a hard reset again.

  git config --system core.longpaths true

Git pull not updating the files
