Git - Pull

git pull incorporates commit (changes) from:

• a remote repository
• into the current branch.

In its default mode, git pull is shorthand for:

• git fetch
• followed by merge ie git merge FETCH_HEAD

ie If you’re on a tracking branch and type git pull, Git automatically knows:

• which upstream branch to fetch from
• which branch to merge in.

• pull from a remote to a branch

git pull remoteName branchName

• pull from a remote into the working branch

git pull remoteName

• pull from the tracking remote into the working branch
