Subject: [RFC PATCH 32/35] pull: improve default warning
Date: Mon,  5 Jul 2021 07:32:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210705123209.1808663-33-felipe.contreras@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210705123209.1808663-1-felipe.contreras@gmail.com>

We don't want to start by recommending a permanent configuration, but a
temporary solution so they start training their fingers and maybe learn
how to do a rebase. So we start with the commands.

Also, we need to be clear about what we mean by "specifying"; merge, or
rebase.

Moreover, it's better use --global in the configuration commands like we
did with push.default.

And finally, point to the documentation that explains what is a
non-fast-forward, and how to solve it:

  git help fast-forward
