git pull not updating the files

Question

I am using Git to cooperate with other users, but today I cannot get the latest change on some files using "git pull", and I cannot see the changes in "git log".

What could be the issue?

Answer 1

The following order of commands helped me:

• remove .git folder
• copy .git from other repo
• now git checkout

Before Removing, You can try

git fetch --all 

git reset --hard origin/master

The result showed me that some file names were too long for git to pull them from my remote repository and hence the mismatch and incorrect builds occurred.

So I ran the following command in order to fix it and did a hard reset again.

git config --system core.longpaths true
