git pull
is a command in Git that fetches and merges changes from a remote repository to your local repository. This command is handy when working in a team that pushes code to a remote repository frequently.
Here’s an example:
Let’s say there are two branches in the remote repository main
and feature
. Your local repository is currently on the main
branch. To update your local repository with the changes from the feature
branch of the remote repository, you can use the following command:
git pull origin feature
This command will fetch changes from the feature
branch of the remote repository origin
and merge them into your local repository. If there are any conflicts between the changes in the remote repository and your local repository, you’ll need to resolve these conflicts before you can push your changes back to the remote repository.
