Re: Suggested improvement for git article replace pull by fetch

[Lars Vogel]

Thanks for the suggestion. Can you still to a merge with a rebase strategy this way? I prefer to avoid merge commits if they are unnecessary.

Topic 'Local and remote repositories'

The text 'or pull (getting changes from a remote repository).'
can be improved, as pull does more then just getting the changes, it also (tries) to merge them in the working directory. A pull is actually a 'fetch + merge'. So therefor it is better to use fetch for just getting the latest changes from the remote. And it is also the recommended way to do a fetch. And then do the  merge separat.
