The difference between git fetch and git pull

Reprint: http://blog.csdn.net/hudashi/article/details/7664457

There are 2 commands in git that get the latest version from the remote branch to the Local:
1. git fetch: the equivalent of getting the latest version from remote to local, not automatically merge

-P Master: origin/Mastergit Merge Origin/master

The meaning of the above command:

First download the latest version from the Remote Origin master branch to the Origin/master branch
Then compare the differences between the local master branch and the Origin/master branch
The final merge
The above process can actually be done in a clearer way:

 git fetch Origin Master:tmpgit  diff   tmp git merge tmp   

Get the latest version from the remote to the local test branch
   then compare merge
2. git pull: equivalent to getting the latest version from remote and merge to local

Git pull Origin Master

The above command is actually equivalent to git fetch and git merge

In actual use, git Fetch safer some
because we can see the update before the merge, and then decide whether to merge End
