$ git pull . branch_a
$ git pull . branch_b

Simple Local Server

Workflow

# set up new project
cd project
git init
git add .
git commit -a -m "Initial commit"

# edit a file
vi file.php
git commit -a

# add a file
vi new.php
git add new.php
git commit -a

# see the log
git log

# make a branch
git branch working
git checkout working
# or in one step
git checkout -b working

# add some changes to this branch
vi file.php

# see what you changed
git status

# check it in
git commit -a

# see all branches
git branch

# go back to the first branch (initial branch is called "master" by default)
git checkout master

# make some other changes
vi other.php
git commit -a

# merge the working branch into this one
git merge working

# see the branches and merges in a graphical browser
gitk --all

# let's do a log of all commits in "working" that don't exist in "master"
git log master..working

# hmm let's undo that last merge (tip of branch is HEAD, one commit back is HEAD^.. we are "popping" one commit)
git reset --hard HEAD^

# push your changes out (push the tip of local "master" branch to remote "incoming" branch)
git push foo.bar.com:~/myrepo master:incoming

# pull changes from another repo (remote "feature1" into local "feature1" branch)
git pull baz.bar.com:~/otherrepo feature1

# move the branch point of the "working" branch to the top of the "master" branch
git checkout working
git rebase master
