Refresh Status of Files

To refresh the source control status of files, select one or more files in the Current Folder

browser, right-click and select Source Control > Refresh Git status.

To refresh the status of all files in the repository, right-click the white space of the

Current Folder browser and select Source Control > Refresh Git status.

Update Revisions of Files

To update all files in a repository, right-click in the Current Folder browser and select

Source Control > Pull.

CautionEnsure you have registered binary files with Git before using Pull. If you do not,

conflict markers can corrupt your files. For more information, see “Register Binary Files

with Git” on page 32-32.

Pull fetches the latest changes and merges them into your current branch. If you are not

sure what is going to come in from the repository, use fetch to examine the changes first

and then merge the changes manually. For more information, see “Pull, Push and Fetch

Files with Git” on page 32-45.

Pull might fail if you have conflicts. With a complicated change you might want to create a

branch from the origin, make some compatibility changes, then merge that branch into

the main tracking branch.
