Probably a Stupid Issue with Git

I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure what... I have multiple computers that I'm working with the same BitBucket Repo on. I can commit, push, and pull with no problems. But, if I've pushed something from one computer, and I run a git status on another computer it shows that my branch is up to date with origin/master.

Am I just missing something here? Or, is that normal and it will only show a status when I have updated the files on the current computer? Thanks for clarifying this. :)

git status only show the status on your current branch.

To verify the status of your current branch on remote you have to send a git fetch

Someone use to schedule a cron job tp periodically send a fetch command.

Git will not download the latest from the Git server without an explicit action from you.

So, before you run git status on that other computer make sure you run:

git fetch

To actually update your local branch use git-pull but the exact command depends on how you have your tracking branches configured.

The explicit form of git-pull that I like to use is:

git checkout branchYouWantToUpdate
git pull origin branchYouWantToUpdate
