Git: Pull - (Remote/Branch)

Installation

Run ext install git-pull-upstream from your VS Code ctrl+p window.

Before Usage

For the extension to work, your folder system needs to be set-up in a specific way.

1. The root folder needs to have your .git folder in it.
2. Your credentials must be stored for the current project.
3. Remotes set-up for your project

To do step 2, choose either of the following:

• Temporary Credential Store
• Permanent Credential Store

WARNING: The second method will store your credentials in plaintext, not encrypted, which is insecure

Usage

To use the command, press F1 in the Code window, and type:

Git: Pull (Remote/Branch Specified)

When the pop-up appears, enter your Remote's name and press < Enter >.

Another pop-up will appear, where you enter the Branch you wish to pull from, and press < Enter >.
