# hub-sync(1)

Fetch git objects from upstream and update local branches.

## NAME

hub-sync - Fetch git objects from upstream and update local branches.

## SYNOPSIS

`hub sync` \[--color\]

- •

  If the local branch is outdated, fast-forward it;

- •

  If the local branch contains unpushed work, warn about it;

- •

  If the branch seems merged and its upstream branch was deleted, delete it.\

If a local branch does not have any upstream configuration, but has a same-named branch on the remote, treat that as its upstream branch.

## OPTIONS

- \--color\[=*WHEN*\]

  Enable colored output even if stdout is not a terminal. *WHEN* can be one of "always" (default for `--color`), "never", or "auto" (default).
