Where are the pull/push commands in GitHub for Windows client?

Question

I've been using GitHub for Mac for a while and was about to help a colleague install it on Windows.

I cannot find any menu or any button to initiate "push" or "pull" as I can on Mac. Only way I see it is to open a shell and execute git pull.

But then, what's the point of the UI?

What solved my problem?

I switched to using SourceTree (http://www.sourcetreeapp.com) instead. It solved all my issues :)

Thanks I was having the same issue. There are plenty of times when you want to pull but not push, so the sync button is mostly a terrible idea. I'm taking your advice and switching to SourceTree – Ultimogeniture

It's in the top right of the app.

For most cases you'll want to hit the sync button which will both push and pull for you.

You can also hit F5 to manually trigger it.

When you have a new local branch, the sync button will change into publish ready for you to push up to remote.

If something goes wrong it will prompt you with a need to go into shell and work things from there.

But I was asking for the "pull" command :) On the Mac client (that is vastly superior to the windows client) I can choose Repository->Pull. Is that impossible on the Windows Client or just very hidden? – Suture

Right now, impossible on the Windows client. Pull is sync, which is both push/pull – Erythroblastosis

ok, so I'm basically better off using power shell if I want to pull and not push – Suture

I switched to sourcetreeapp.com for better control. It solved my problems/issues :) – Suture
