What this helps you do

Synchronize refs while keeping remote publication explicit.

Find it in GitGlow

Use Fetch, Pull, and Push in the repository header.

Before you start

Fetch, fast-forward-only pull, and normal push are Free. GitGlow does not offer force push.

Steps

  1. Choose Fetch to update remote refs without changing the checkout.
  2. Review ahead and behind counts before Pull or Push.
  3. Use Pull only when fast-forward is possible; review the target before Push.

Expected result

Remote refs or the branch update through fixed Git operations using your existing credentials.

Controls

Recovery

If the workflow cannot continue

Diverged branches block fast-forward pull. Inspect History and choose an explicit merge or local Git recovery path.
