From: Konstantin Pereiaslov <perk11@perk11.info> Added a description of what the offered options will do and for pull also offered a 3rd option during a pull - a hard reset. This option should be helpful for the new users that accidentally committed into the wrong branch which is a scenario I saw very often. The resulting tooltip looks like this for pull: hint: Diverging branches can't be fast-forwarded. Consider the following options: hint: hint: To merge remote changes into your branch: hint: git merge --no-ff hint: hint: To apply your changes on top of remote changes: hint: git rebase hint: hint: To discard your local changes and apply the remote changes: hint: git reset --hard refs/remotes/upstream/branch-name hint: hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.diverging false" There is some danger because it's semi-destructive, but so are other options offered if user doesn't know the commands to revert back. Additionally, I think "To discard your local changes" wording describes the danger clearly enough. And for merge I improved the wording and added a description of what the commands do: hint: Diverging branches can't be fast-forwarded. hint: Consider the following options: hint: hint: To merge changes into your branch: hint: git merge --no-ff hint: hint: To apply your changes on top: hint: git rebase hint: hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.diverging false" Signed-off-by: Konstantin Pereiaslov <perk11@perk11.info> Submitted-As: https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1570.git.git.1693861162353.gitgitgadget@gmail.com
