I've been using GitHub for Mac for a while and was about to help a colleague install it on Windows.
I cannot find any menu or any button to initiate "push" or "pull" as I can on Mac. Only way I see it is to open a shell and execute git pull
.
But then, what's the point of the UI?
What solved my problem?
I switched to using SourceTree (http://www.sourcetreeapp.com) instead. It solved all my issues :)
The git pull command is actually a combination of two other commands, git fetch followed by git merge . In the first stage of operation git pull will execute a git fetch scoped to the local branch that HEAD is pointed at. Once the content is downloaded, git pull will enter a merge workflow.
It's in the top right of the app.
For most cases you'll want to hit the sync button which will both push and pull for you.
You can also hit F5 to manually trigger it.
When you have a new local branch, the sync button will change into publish ready for you to push up to remote.
If something goes wrong it will prompt you with a need to go into shell and work things from there.
