git-sync: Sync without cleaning untracked files.
$ git sync -s ${remote_name} ${branch_name}
try on your machine

The command git sync -s ${remote_name} ${branch_name} is not a standard Git command. It seems like a custom command or a shorthand version of a series of Git commands.

Generally, the Git command for syncing changes between remote and local repositories is git pull. However, the given command might have some custom logic defined for synchronization.

Here is a breakdown of the command components:

  • git: This is the command-line interface for Git.
  • sync: It might be an alias or custom script that has been created. Git itself does not have a built-in sync command.
  • -s: It's unclear what the -s flag represents without additional context. Usually, Git commands use -s to indicate a strategy, like -s ours or -s theirs, for merging or rebasing.
  • ${remote_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the remote repository. You would replace ${remote_name} with the actual name of the remote, such as origin.
  • ${branch_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the branch you want to sync. You would replace ${branch_name} with the actual branch name, such as master or feature/branch.

To fully understand the command and its functionality, you would need to examine any custom scripts or aliases defined in the Git configuration or any additional context specific to your project or organization.
