So, we now have the origin/master branch with us as remote branch and is not yet merged into the master branch of our local repository.Īfter reviewing the changes in the remote branch we can merge it into our local branch using the git merge command. Now we want to fetch those changes from the master branch. Lets say other developers have committed changes and pushed those changes to the central repository which then got merged to the master branch. $ git branch -rĪs the fetched commits are saved as remote branches and not integrated into our local branches it gives us an opportunity to review the changes and decide whether we want to merge the fetched changes in our local branches. To view the remote branches that was fetched we use the git branch -r command.
If we want to fetch specific branch then we pass the branch name using the git fetch command. Note! origin is the name we set for the central repository in the previous tutorial Git Remote - Connecting with repository.
Remote: Total 2 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 Remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done. We use the git fetch command to fetch all the branches, commits and files of the remote connection. So, this helps in reviewing the commits before integrating them in the local working branches.
The fetched commits are saved as remote branches separate from the local branches.
GIT FETCH A BRANCH UPDATE
When we use the git fetch commands we fetch the commits of a remote repository into our local repository. Update the remote-tracking branches: git fetch origin The above command copies all branches from the remote refs/heads/ namespace and stores them to the local. In this tutorial we will learn about Git fetch to import commits from remote repository.
