Hi,

The asterisk ('*') is a marker to indicate the current branch.

The '->' symbolised 'has moved to', so we have that the special variable FETCH_HEAD now hold the hash name of the develop branch.

The bada8af..6d2389b is the range of commits that have been fetched, and that they are now on the remote tracking branch 'origin/develop' (your copy of the remote's branch)

when I fetched the particular branch named "develop" from remote repository

the console outputs the result below

* branch            develop -> FETCH_HEAD
   bada8af..6d2389b  develop -> origin/develop

I barely understood "bada8af" is the hash name of develop's HEAD and "6d2389b" is the name of tracking branch's HEAD hash name.
But i do not know what is the asterisk of the first line?
and what is  "->" mean in  "develop    -> FETCH_HEAD"
because develop branch  is not merged to FETCH_HEAD.

thank you
