Fail to use git pull "Couldn't find remote ref allow-unrelated-histories" Oh,god,I don't know what to do,please help me

Answer 1

Options to pull (such as the merge option --allow-unrelated-histories ) must come before the remote name and refspec, because there could be any number of refspec arguments.

git pull --allow-unrelated-histories origin master

However, unless you know why you are combining unrelated histories, this may not be a good idea. It is not typical that you would need to do this, and instead of chasing error messages you may need to take a step back and be sure it's totally clear why the original pull isn't doing what you expected.
