Get Code from Remote Repository

There are two ways to get code from a remote repository:

1. Fetch Code

• Downloads updates from the remote repo
• Does not merge changes into your local branch

git fetch <remote-name>

Example:

git fetch origin

---

2. Pull Code

• Downloads updates and merges them into your local branch
• Equivalent to: git fetch + git merge

git pull <remote-name> <branch-name>

Example:

git pull origin master

---

Summary

• git fetch → remote → local (no merge)
• git pull → remote → local + merge
