ForkPress

forkpress pull

forkpress pull updates an existing Git checkout with git pull --rebase --autostash.

Use it in a ForkPress editing checkout after another process has pushed or normalized the same branch.

Usage

Terminal window
forkpress pull [repo]

Arguments

ArgumentDefaultDescription
repo.Existing Git checkout or worktree to update.

What It Does

pull verifies that repo is a Git checkout, then runs:

Terminal window
git pull --rebase --autostash

The command inherits Git’s normal rebase behavior. If local changes conflict with the remote, resolve them in the checkout and continue or abort the rebase with standard Git commands.

Examples

Pull the current checkout:

Terminal window
forkpress pull

Pull another checkout:

Terminal window
forkpress pull ../site

forkpress commit fetches the server-normalized ref after a successful push and fast-forwards when possible. Use pull when that normalization is not a fast-forward or when the checkout needs to catch up later.
