git fetch versus git pull
QuizEasy-MediumAsked in: Accenture, Capgemini, TCS
How do git fetch and git pull differ?
- fetch downloads new commits and updates remote-tracking branches (your local copies of the remote branches) such as origin/main without touching your branch; pull fetches and then combines them with your branch (merge or rebase)
- pull only downloads; fetch also merges
- They are identical
- fetch uploads your commits
