What is the difference between git pull and git fetch?



What is the difference between git pull and git fetch?..

Answer / Sachin Kumar Poswal

Both Git `pull` and `fetch` commands are used to update your local repository with changes from a remote repository. However, they have some differences:n- `fetch` only downloads the commits and updates the refs (branch pointers) in your local repository, but it doesn't merge the changes into your working directory or create new merge commits.n- `pull` fetches the changes as well but also merges them into your current branch and creates a new commit if necessary.
