git pull Tutorial

Explains git pull as fetch plus integration, and why many teams prefer fetch-first or ff-only synchronization habits.

The short version

git pull fetches remote updates and then integrates them into the current branch.

Common forms

git pull
git pull --rebase
git pull --ff-only

If you want maximum control, fetch first and choose the integration strategy explicitly.
