[[fetching-and-pulling]]
How do I know if I want to do a fetch or a pull?::
A fetch stores a copy of the latest changes from the remote
repository, without modifying the working tree or current branch.
You can then at your leisure inspect, merge, rebase on top of, or
ignore the upstream changes. A pull consists of a fetch followed
immediately by either a merge or rebase. See linkgit:git-pull[1].
