How can I make a pull using Git GUI tool? It seems there is no pull command anywhere.

Is there an equivalent menu option using Git GUI?

Any help will be appreciated.

Well, I found this useful forum post: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/No-quot-pull-quot-in-git-gui-td1121058.html

A fetch and merge should be done.

It seems you need to go to "Remote" menu, then "Fetch from" option , in my case origin, and then go to "Merge Menu" and then "Local Merge...".
