git command equivalent to p4 sync -n

Question

Before I pull from a remote repository I would like to size up the changes.

For anybody familiar with perforce, I want the exact equivant to "p4 sync -n".

I thought this would be easy. I first checked "git help pull". I then checked google. Run out of places to check.

Answer 1

There is no direct equivalence for p4 sync -n in Git.

• You cannot directly determine the size of the next fetch (part of a git pull)
• You can try and look at the prefetch namespace ( git fetch --prefetch ), introduced with Git 2.32 , but that might not include size information.
