Example
When local changes are present, the git pull command aborts reporting :
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge
In order to update (like svn update did with subversion), you can run :
git stash
git pull --rebase
git stash pop
A convenient way could be to define an alias using :
2.9
git config --global alias.up '!git stash && git pull --rebase && git stash pop'
2.9
git config --global alias.up 'pull --rebase --autostash'
Next you can simply use :
git up
