Which command will I use if I want to download new data from a remote git repository, but I do not want this data to be automatically merged into my working files?

CodePudding user response：

That's what git fetch does. git pull is, in some sense, a convenience wrapper around git fetch and git merge.

git fetch provides the ability to download commits from individual branches. You can also use git remote update, which downloads all new commits, regardless of which branch provides access to them.

CodePudding user response：

git fetch can fetch from either a single named repository or URL, or from several repositories at once if is given and there is a remotes. entry in the configuration file.

git fetch [<options>] [<repository> [<refspec>…​]]
