Packages pushed to repository don't download [message #1087466]

I'm new to egit and working with my first repository. I'm developing software on two machines: one Windows 7 (local) and the other Ubuntu 13.04 (remote). I created a GitHub account and repository to synchronize between the two machines. I discovered the repository was missing packages, so I added them to the local Windows 7 repository and uploaded it to GitHub. On the remote Ubuntu machine, I used "team->fetch from upstream" to update. However, the added packages don't appear on the Ubuntu machine. I tried to download again, but egit says everything is up-to-date.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

What exactly do you mean by "package" ?
Whatever you mean, you are aware that 'fetch' won't make any changes in your working files, right? The fetch operation just copies commits from one repository to another.

Many thanks for your email. I'm a beginner with egit. What I mean by "package" is an Eclipse java package, as in "Package Explorer." I did not know that the fetch operation just copies commits. I thought that it updated the working files, too. How do I update my working files?
Thanks.

The "Pull" operation is what you want - it does a "Fetch" (update your local clone) followed by a "Merge" of the newly received commits (from the applicable branch) into your working directory.

For completeness : pull can do either fetch + merge or fetch+rebase. Merge is the default, personally I usually use rebase, which you can set in the clone's local configuration. EGit lets you choose merge or rebase in the branch creation dialog, which is pretty handy.

Pull can also just do the merge or rebase, as configured, without a fetch, This is what happens when the branch you're tracking is local rather than remote. Again, EGit has good support for local tracking, unless you're using a fairly old version.
