[git-users] Fetch detail

Does it make a difference what I have checked out when I do a git fetch? (note: NOT a git pull). Or does it just bring down the complete tree of commits, no matter what branch they belong to? Thanks, Pito -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git

[git-users] Meaning of 'HEAD' vs. branch master

Re: [git-users] Meaning of 'HEAD' vs. branch master

Re: [git-users] Remote vs. local branch

Thanks! So even though the branch is in the local repo, I can't use the files locally without creating a local tracking branch. And git checkout as well as git branch only work locally, always. Yes? - Pito On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 4:43 PM, Paul Beckingham wrote: > The remote/origin/ym

Thanks everyone, for the explanations. Extremely useful! One final nuance: What then does git fetch do different from git fetch origin ? - Pito On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 8:58 PM, Jeffrey wrote: >> A key note in git-fetch(1) is: >> >> > A parameter without a colon is
