Question

I have cloned the git repository in Linux server and able to run git fetch, git status, git log commands.

I am getting an error while i run git pull as below:

git: 'pull' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?
        shell

HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ERROR.

Answer 1

This looks like a broken installation of Git, I'd recommend to reinstall (on Ubuntu, this would be via sudo apt-get install git ). The pull command is implemented as a shell script called git-pull located in the path returned by git --exec-path . You might want to check if the file is there.

Answer 2

It seems like the 'pull' command isn't in your path.

Try adding the following to your .bashrc, or whatever shell you're using:

export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/opt/local/libexec/git-core

And if necessary, reload bash.

Answer 3

for me nothing above worked.

Solution:

There was some bad character that was displaying as space but actually it was something else.
