How to discover the current default behavior for git pull?
I've started receiving this warning at VS Code startup:
So I downloaded Git for Windows v2.27.0. Upon running the installer, I encountered this prompt:
I'd like to choose the same default behavior that Visual Studio did when it first installed Git for me, so as to keep everything working smoothly. I'm enough of a novice at Git that I wouldn't want things to go awry.
I haven't proceeded yet; I don't want to risk mucking it up.
This Q&A discusses the concept but doesn't quite get there on finding out what the default is. The official documentation comes up short here as well.
Is there a way to determine the current default?
If there isn't, is it possible to change the default after the fact, in case I choose the wrong option?
[edit] I just re-ran the installer on Windows :
If you have an existing .gitconfig, the installer checks it ; keeping the selected option is preserving your existing config.
Look at your two config variables pull.rebase and pull.ff
From a terminal :
git config --global pull.rebase
git config --global pull.ff
or open the .gitconfig file in your home directory
- if pull.rebase is set to 'true' : that's the second option
- if pull.ff is set to 'only' : that's the third option
- else : that's the first option
