Exam 350-901 topic 1 question 317 discussion

correct, pull = fetch + commit

D. git pull --all This command will fetch the changes from all branches from the remote repository and merge them into the current branch locally. It’s a combination of git fetch and git merge, which is what the developer needs to do to update their local branch with the changes from the remote repository. The other options do not perform both actions needed in this context.

using git pull --all in this scenario will help you achieve the desired outcome of updating your local branch with changes from the remote repository.

A developer is adding a user experience improvement to an application and is working on a fork. The developer must push a new branch named ‘devcorexpv4g4h1h1y1r5l3w1t4’ to the remote repository named ‘PRODdevcorv01h1t2d1w5i6j4a5b’. The local branch must be updated to include "any new changes that were pushed" to the remote repository from other developers. Which Git command must be used? I put the question there because I need to point that we already pushed any new changes so be need to update only "local branch". I will go with B

The answer is D. git pull --all. The git pull command is used to fetch and merge changes from a remote repository into the local repository. The -all option tells Git to fetch and merge all branches, including the remote tracking branches. In this scenario, the developer needs to push a new branch to the remote repository and then update the local branch to include any new changes that were pushed to the remote repository from other developers. The git pull --all command will do both of these things.

Local branch needs to be update so it's git fetch git pull with update the working directory....

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/syncing/git-fetch When downloading content from a remote repo, git pull and git fetch commands are available to accomplish the task. You can consider git fetch the 'safe' version of the two commands. It will download the remote content but not update your local repo's working state, leaving your current work intact. git pull is the more aggressive alternative; it will download the remote content for the active local branch and immediately execute git merge to create a merge commit for the new remote content. If you have pending changes in progress this will cause conflicts and kick-off the merge conflict resolution flow.
