To complement what Philip is saying. You don't need to use '-U' because you cloned your repo and that automatically sets the upstream for you. Instead, you can just type 'git push'.
In your scenario, you can just use 'git pull' to update your working directory. The files you didn't push will not be affected. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
