Pull changes from a linked Git repository in ServiceNow Studio to apply remote updates to the local instance.

## Before you begin

[Link an app to source control in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/DawPgaSCzbztW8HaLVSwAg "Link an application or application customization to a Git repository in ServiceNow Studio so application developers can manage changes directly from the platform.")

2. In the file navigator, select the application you want to open.
3. Select App details to open the app in the canvas.
4. Select Source controlPull from repository.
5. Choose whether to stash or discard local changes before pulling.

   | Option | Description |
   | Stash local changes | Saves local changes before switching to an alternate branch. You can later merge or discard the saved changes. |
   | Discard local changes | Permanently deletes all local changes before switching to an alternate branch. Discarded changes cannot be recovered. Note: Use caution when discarding local changes.
