I have setup a "puff" alias for this (PUll --FF-only => PUFF): git config --global alias.puff 'pull --ff-only' Then you could do: git checkout master # if not already on master git puff origin/master I also have a "ff" alias for fast-forwarding: git config --global alias.ff 'merge --ff-only' Then you could do: git checkout master # if not already on master git fetch # examine changes git ff origin/master Enjoy, Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
