The difference between git fetch and git pull

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

Git fetch Origin Master
Git log-p master: Origin/master
git 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:
get the latest version from the remote to the local test branch
Then compare the merge

2. gitPull: the equivalent of getting the latest version from remote and merge to local

Git fetch Origin master:tmp
GIT diff tmp
Git merge tmp

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

Git fetch is more secure in real-world use

Git pull Origin Master

because before the merge, we can review the update and then decide whether to merge
