pull¶
- Purpose:
Turn this branch into a mirror of another branch.
- Usage:
brz pull [LOCATION]
- Options:
- -d ARG, --directory=ARG

- --local
Perform a local pull in a bound branch. Local pulls are not applied to the master branch.
- --overwrite

- --remember
Remember the specified location as a default.
- -r ARG, --revision=ARG

- --show-base
Show base revision text in conflicts.
- --usage
Show usage message and options.
- -v, --verbose

- Description:
By default, this command only works on branches that have not diverged. Branches are considered diverged if the destination branch’s most recent commit is one that has not been merged (directly or indirectly) into the parent.
If branches have diverged, you can use ‘brz merge’ to integrate the changes from one into the other. Once one branch has merged, the other should be able to pull it again.
If you want to replace your local changes and just want your branch to match the remote one, use pull –overwrite. This will work even if the two branches have diverged.
If there is no default location set, the first pull will set it (use –no-remember to avoid setting it). After that, you can omit the location to use the default. To change the default, use –remember. The value will only be saved if the remote location can be accessed.
The –verbose option will display the revisions pulled using the log_format configuration option. You can use a different format by overriding it with -Olog_format=<other_format>.
Note: The location can be specified either in the form of a branch, or in the form of a path to a file containing a merge directive generated with brz send.
