Get-Updates Get the latest updates from where the project is published, without merging them.

Read-Only GitEasy v1.5.3

Description

Get-Updates checks the published location for new saved points that other people have added since you last looked, and downloads them locally without changing your working area. It is the safe "what's new on the team's side" command - it never merges, never overwrites your work, and never publishes anything.

Use it before Save-Work when you want to know whether a teammate has pushed new changes. The returned object reports how many new saved points were fetched. To incorporate them into your active working area, use Save-Work (which pulls with rebase before publishing) or stay outside Save-Work entirely if you just wanted to look.

Get-Updates -RemoteName origin

Notes

Read-only with respect to your working area. Does fetch from the remote, which writes new objects to your local Git database; Save-Work decides whether and how those updates are applied.

Parameters

-RemoteName optional String
The name of the published location to check. Defaults to origin.
-LogPath optional String
Override the directory where the diagnostic log for this run is written.
