deployment - Create a script to git pull/checkout from specific branch -

i'm trying write script deploy our webapp git. have 2 servers ("production" , "development").

i've made new develop branch, , after first clone on server situation git branch -a this:

* master   remotes/origin/head -> origin/master   remotes/origin/develop   remotes/origin/master 

i'm trying write simple script pull master on production server, , develop on development server.

after clone did

git pull origin develop git checkout develop 

and situation this:

* develop   master   remotes/origin/head -> origin/master   remotes/origin/develop   remotes/origin/master 

the files matching develop branch. far good.

i've tried same master:

git pull origin master git checkout master 

and got message:

your branch ahead of 'origin/master' 5 commits.   (use "git push" publish local commits) 

and files seems same of develop.

i guess knkowledge git , local/remote branch not enough, i'm missing something.

try other way around :

git checkout <branch> git pull origin <branch> 

---

calling git pull origin master wil execute following 2 actions :

• get changes remote branch master
  (you can achieve same thing running git fetch origin master)
• merge active branch origin/master
  (you can achieve same thing running git merge origin/master)

so, if active branch develop, running git pull origin master move local develop branch.
then, running git checkout master checkout local master branch without updating it.
