You’re working in collaboration and you need to make sure your local copy is up-to-date with what’s happening in the remote repository. e.g. Someone in the team has made updates to the main branch that you need to integrate before continuing your work. That’s where the git pull command steps in!
Command: git pull origin main
Description: This command fetches the latest updates from the remote repository's main branch and merges them into your local branch.
git pull combines two actions: fetching remote changes and merging them into your branch.
origin is the default name for the remote repository.
main refers to the branch you're pulling from.
Usually using the command as git pull is enough.
It’s a quick way to ensure you're working with the most current code, especially when collaborating with a team. Pulling latest code regularly prevents conflicts later on.
