Yes, what KDevelop does here is wrong. You cannot switch to a remote branch with "git checkout remotes/origin/foo" because you simply cannot switch to remote branches. |
I created new branch in terminal and pushed it. I run KDevelop and wanted switch (from master) to this new branch, so I invoked "Git pull" and in Branches option I received newly created branch. After that I called "Checkout". Unfortunately in "Project" view I saw "my_project (no branch)" and in "Version Control" view: /path/to/my/project> git checkout remotes/origin/main_menu Checking in terminal the name of branch I see string of some numbers, KDevelop is not able to recognize it as correct name of branch. OK. I hoped that when I run one more time git -> Pull option the I will be able download the changes, but unfortunately I received following messages: <cut> /path/to/my/project> git pull Command exited with value 1. You are not currently on a branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details. git pull <remote> <branch> Command finished with error UnknownError. </cut> I'm not sure if KDevelop does this operation well, because when I run from terminal commands present below, I'm able to receive correct branch name and all made changes. $ git checkout -b main_menu origin/main_menu Branch 'main_menu' set up to track remote branch 'main_menu' from 'origin'. Switched to a new branch 'main_menu' $ git pull origin main_menu From bitbucket.org:qtcmd/qtcmd2 * branch main_menu -> FETCH_HEAD Already up to date.
