failed to git pull same file from specific commit id in local machine?

Question

Env：

• macOS 10.13.5

Git init and push changed files in local machine

Notes：XXX is username of local machine

    ➜  gittest git init
    Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/XXX/Desktop/gittest/.git/
    ➜  gittest git:(master) echo "hello" > 1.md
    ➜  gittest git:(master) ✗ git add 1.md
    ➜  gittest git:(master) ✗ git commit -m"hello"
[master (root-commit) ea37549] hello
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 1.md
    gittest git:(master) ✗ git push --set-upstream /Users/XXX/Desktop/gittest/.git/ master
    Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from '/Users/XXX/Desktop/gittest/.git/'.
    Everything up-to-date
    gittest git:(master) ✗ echo "hello 2" >>1.md # change files
    ➜  gittest git:(master) ✗ git add 1.md
    ➜  gittest git:(master) ✗ git commit -m"hello 2"
[master 4593958] hello2
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
    ➜  gittest git:(master) ✗ git push
    Everything up-to-date

Git Pull the first commit files but failed

➜  gittest git:(master) git pull
From /Users/XXX/Desktop/gittest/
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up to date.

But it could not return file that was first commited to git push.

Expected

• Git pull files with specified commit id and cover origin files with same names.
• I don't want to use remote server or repository(eg Github).Please don't give solutions about it.
• I don't want to create another branch and merge it. I just want to finish my goal in a master branch.

You have got a lot of things mixed up

git init creates a full repository, therefore git commit is the command to create a revision in that repository.

git push is used to send changes to other repositories. You actually just created a self-reference to the same repository with your push. Therefore, everything is up-to-date, because you are trying to update the repository itself.

git pull is used to get changes from other repositories and is by default a shortcut for git fetch (update the local knowledge about remote repository) and git merge to merge try to merge a current branch with the updated local knowledge of the branch in remote repository.

If you do not want to deal with remote repositories, do not use git pull and git push .

Moving around Git

To move to a specific commit in the repository, use git checkout . But beware, git checkout <commit id> will end up in detached HEAD state.
