How to get the latest changes from git before you do a commit¶

Issue¶

If you get this error when syncing (pushing) to your remote origin:

git fatal: no upstream configured for branch 'main'

This usually means you’ve missed some commits and need to sync them first before you can commit your new changes as well.

You will need to open git to the folder where the repo is hosted and enter in:

git pull origin main

This will pull down any changes you have missed to the main branch (You can replace main with the branch you are working on)

Then you can merge any diffs and commit to your local git, then a sync to your origin should work.
