In git, it is possible to handle a remote name with -
character star.
For example, we can add a remote which begins with -
, update it by just using the option --
in the git command (--
separate between command option and the remote name).
But it doesn't work on :
git pull -- "-myremotename" "master"
And, I get this error message :
error: unknown switch `y'
usage: git fetch [<options>] [<repository> [<refspec>...]]
I think that --
option doesn't work in git pull
, because pull
is a combination of git fetch
followed by git merge
, and --
isn't used when making this 2 commands.
Any idea to fix it ?
