What's the equivalent command of Eclipse EGit's “Synchronize Workspace”, for git-shell, or GUI like GitKraken?
I have been using Eclipse EGit to manage my git repositories.
First I use the "Synchronize Workspace" function and make sure is there any conflicts, then I can decide whether I should pull the newer codes from remote or not.
Recently I am learning to use Git-shell or GUI like GitKraken to manage my git repositories. I know I can use Git Pull command to pull the newer codes, but I cannot find the equivalent command like "Synchronize Workspace", to peek that is there any difference between my local and remote repositories.
Is there any equivalent command of Eclipse EGit's "Synchronize Workspace", for git-shell, or GUI like GitKraken?
This is a common problem of (bad) git clients: they use vocabulary that obfuscate the git commands they execute. I suspect git status, that shows which files changed, or git diff, that shows what was changed in these files, is what you're looking for.
EDIT:
After re-reading your question, I think you're looking for git fetch, that will update your local information about remotes, and git status, which will show you if your local branch is behind it's remote counterpart, like this:
