Php git pull from a branch is not working

Question

I can clone the repository by this command:

exec("git clone pull https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git");

But, can't pull from any branch by this command:

exec("git pull https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git mybranch");

Any idea?

UPDATE: I found the solution after debugging a lot :) At first, I cloned my desired branch by this command:

exec("git clone pull https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git --branch branch_name path_to_clone");

Then created a new file inside the repository ('path_to_clone'). And inside that, added the pull command:

exec("git pull https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git branch_name");

It works fine!!

No, it always return success, but doesn't pull the latest code from the branch. — Shakti, Jan 23 '18 at 20:21
I can clone the branch by this way: `exec("git clone https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git --branch mybranch");` But not sure what's going wrong with pull. — Shakti, Jan 23 '18 at 20:23
`exec("git pull git@bitbucket.org:user/repo.git mybranch"); ` — Adittya Verma, Jan 23 '18 at 20:29
I need https. I can clone it, so, there shouldn't be any issues with authentication. — Shakti, Jan 23 '18 at 20:30
@AdittyaVerma Where to set the password in your given format? — Shakti, Jan 23 '18 at 20:33
@Shakti I have setup ssh key with my local system so I don't need password in case of SSH. — Adittya Verma, Jan 23 '18 at 20:36
Actually I'm using it for auto deployment in my cPanel. It was ok with the same command before some weeks. But now I see it's not working. Looks very strange! — Shakti, Jan 23 '18 at 20:38
can you send me some error or screenshot with pull command and its result ? and also once try to restart your system then try this ? — Adittya Verma, Jan 23 '18 at 20:40
@AdittyaVerma using the same command as mentioned. No error messages. it returns `Updating bb09c4a..8df9f47` — Shakti, Jan 23 '18 at 20:45
