title: How can I connect to a git repository and work from it remotely cross-platform?
body: <p>I am trying to build an update sequence for my game server. I am using git to host my file platform changes since it is capable of merging.</p>
  
  <p>First, I want to create a repository and upload it to my git account as a 'fresh install'.</p>
  
  <pre><code>git init
  git remote add origin https://github.com/...
  git add "RV SERVER"
  git commit -m "Initial upload"
  git push
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This now uploads my server from my development PC. I now want to download the git repository on my VPS via SSH.</p>
  
  <pre><code>git init
  git remote add origin https://github.com/...
  git pull
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then when I want to update the server files with any new player saves I use this</p>
  
  <pre><code>git init
  git remote add origin https://github.com/...
  git commit -m "Merge for any player save updates"
  git push
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I get the error that there is a pull request waiting (which is the update) however, I want to first save the player information so it merges with the new update and then download any file updates.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this?</p>
