git did not pull my remote file and says Already up-to-date

I have pushed a last version of project to Git.

And I would like to make an experiment: I change a file development.rb.

And I run git pull I expect that my local file development.rb will be replaced by remote file development.rb. But it doesn't. Why?

This is because your HEAD is either at the same point of ahead of what is on the remote branch. I assume your development.rb file has not been committed locally, so you can:

git checkout HEAD development.rb

To remove local changes to development.rb.

That's not how git works. If you do:

git status

You'll see that you have a pending local change.

You can throw away this change and revert to the last commit with:

git checkout -- development.rb

you should git checkout development.rb first, or the git pull will try to merge remote changes with your local changes.
