如何将特定文件推送到 git 存储库，而本地提交与远程存储库不同步

Question

I was trying to push a file from my local git repository to central git repository. As my local repository is not in sync with central remote repository, I am unable to push the file. My code requirement is that I can't 'git pull' the repository. I need to do a 'git push' on only one file, without doing a 'git pull'. Is it possible to do so?

Answer 1

Your code "requirement" is off-kilter. If you are behind the remote repository, you should be doing a git pull to sync up before attempting to push your local branch. Your options are:

git pull origin yourBranch

or

git pull --rebase origin yourBranch

The first option will update your remote tracking branch origin/yourBranch with whatever is on the remote and attempt to merge it into your local branch. The second option will also update the remote tracking branch, but will instead rebase your local branch on the remote.
