In this video, we’ll show you how to use git status and git fetch origin to update your local repository , then merge the changes with git pull. This method ensures you’re always aware of upstream updates before making any commits—perfect for developers managing projects with Git on Linux!
Learn:
✅ Step-by-Step Guide :
Navigate to the Repository Folder :
cd /path/to/your/repo
Check Current Status :
Run: git status to see if your branch is up-to-date or behind the remote.
Fetch Updates from Remote :
Use: git fetch origin to download the latest changes from the remote repository.
Check Status Again :
Run: git status once more to confirm what has changed.
Example output: "Your branch is behind 'origin/main' by X commits."
Merge Fetched Changes :
Once you're ready, merge the fetched updates with:
git pull
✅ Why Use git fetch Before git pull?
Preview Changes : Fetch allows you to review updates before merging.
Avoid Conflicts : Stay informed about upstream changes before modifying your code.
Control Your Workflow : Decide when and how to integrate updates.
✅ Pro Tips :
Combine git log with .. syntax to view fetched changes:
git log HEAD..origin/main
Use git diff to compare local and fetched code:
git diff origin/main
Regularly fetch updates to stay in sync with the remote repository.
