Use git-webkit pull to update the current repository.

What it does

  • Updates the current production branch (e.g., main) with the latest upstream changes
  • If on a development branch, rebases it on the updated production branch
  • Works safely even when there are local uncommitted edits

How to use

git-webkit pull

No additional arguments are needed.

Locating git-webkit

If git-webkit is not in PATH, use Tools/Scripts/git-webkit instead (relative to the repository root).

Rules

  1. Use git-webkit pull instead of git pull or git fetch + git rebase in the WebKit repository.
  2. Do not pass --force or other flags unless the user explicitly requests them.
  3. After pulling, convert any commit hashes in the output to WebKit identifiers using git-webkit find before presenting them to the user. Always display identifiers in backticks (e.g., 285301@main).
  4. Never prefix git-webkit or Tools/Scripts/git-webkit with python3. The script is directly executable.
