Git pull not working for remote upload

Question

I'm new in Git repository. So i have an openshift cloud all configured, and my application allows users to upload their avatar! But when i ran a 'git pull', those uploaded images, never came to my local repository, am i doing something wrong?

>git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: ssh://id@app.rhcloud.com/~/git/app.git/
  Push  URL: ssh://id@app.rhcloud.com/~/git/app.git/
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branch:
    master tracked
  Local branch configured for 'git pull':
    master merges with remote master
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    master pushes to master (up to date)

>git pull
Already up-to-date.

*UPDATE *

I have this on my local avatar folder:

22/11/2013  16:07    <DIR>          .
22/11/2013  16:07    <DIR>          ..

I now for test i just uploaded the following image: 7851dc21ab0e1c6d936591c1889f2d259205d4dd.jpg

That doesn't exist in my local repo, but even i running 'git fetch' or 'git pull' i was unable to get that! So if i push some modification, all the avatar folder will be replaced!

Thanks everybody :)

Answer 2

If you are having users upload images via your website, those will not get pushed into your git repository. They will be stored on the disk within your project. You should store them in your $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR so that they do not get over-written next time you do a git push also.

Answer 3

Indeed it looks like everything is set up just fine.

Are you sure that those images are in fact stored in the git repository (meaning they are commited)? If they are and the tracking url is correct, then you definitely have them in your system also (tried a ls -la?)

How did you verified that the images are stored in the remote repository?

Edit: Note that a user uploading an avatar to your site does not mean that the image is tracked in the git repository. It exists in the disk of the server, but for it to appear in the git repository it would have to be git added and git commited somehow (which by the way doesn't make much sense).
