Getting changes from a remote repository

You can use common Git commands to access remote repositories.

Options for getting changes

These commands are very useful when interacting witha remote repository.clone andfetch download remote code from a repository's remote URL to your local computer,merge is used to merge different people's work together with yours, andpull is a combination offetch andmerge.

Cloning a repository

To grab a complete copy of another user's repository, usegit clone like this:

$gitclone https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git#Clones a repository to your computer

You can choose fromseveral different URLs when cloning a repository. While logged in to GitHub, these URLs are available on the main page of the repository when you click Code.

When you rungit clone, the following actions occur:

  • A new folder calledrepo is made
  • It is initialized as a Git repository
  • A remote namedorigin is created, pointing to the URL you cloned from
  • All of the repository's files and commits are downloaded there
  • The default branch is checked out

For every branchfoo in the remote repository, a corresponding remote-tracking branchrefs/remotes/origin/foo is created in your local repository. You can usually abbreviatesuch remote-tracking branch names toorigin/foo.

Fetching changes from a remote repository

Usegit fetch to retrieve new work done by other people. Fetching from a repository grabs all the new remote-tracking branches and tagswithout merging those changes into your own branches.

If you already have a local repository with a remote URL set up for the desired project, you can grab all the new information by usinggit fetch *remotename* in the terminal:

$git fetch REMOTE-NAME#Fetches updates made to a remote repository

Otherwise, you can always add a new remote and then fetch. For more information, seeManaging remote repositories.

Merging changes into your local branch

Merging combines your local changes with changes made by others.

Typically, you'd merge a remote-tracking branch (i.e., a branch fetched from a remote repository) with your local branch:

$git merge REMOTE-NAME/BRANCH-NAME#Merges updates made online with yourlocal work

Pulling changes from a remote repository

git pull is a convenient shortcut for completing bothgit fetch andgit mergein the same command:

$git pull REMOTE-NAME BRANCH-NAME#Grabs online updates and merges them with yourlocal work

Becausepull performs a merge on the retrieved changes, you should ensure thatyour local work is committed before running thepull command. If you run intoa merge conflictyou cannot resolve, or if you decide to quit the merge, you can usegit merge --abortto take the branch back to where it was in before you pulled.
