git pull <remote>
Fetches and merges remote changes into the current branch
This command fetches the latest commits from the specified remote repository and merges them into the current branch. It is commonly used to update the local branch with remote changes. By default, git pull
retrieves changes from the origin
remote and merges them into the current branch. However, the <remote>
parameter allows you to specify a different remote to pull from. For example, git pull upstream
would fetch and merge changes from the upstream
remote.
Specific examples:
git pull my_remote
