The Git Fetch feature helps keep your local repository up to date with remote changes without performing a merge or rebase automatically. Normally you use Fetch when you want to see what changed on the remote without altering your local work.
You can perform a Git Fetch from the PowerBuilder IDE, by right-clicking the workspace/solution in the System Tree and then selecting Git Fetch from the pop-up menu.
In the dialog that displays, configure the following options:
-
Remote - the name of the remote repository you are fetching from (for example,
origin). -
Branches to fetch - the branch to fetch from that remote repository, currently, all branches of that remote repository (for example
origin (all branch)) will be fetched.
Git Fetch downloads the
latest commits, branches, and tags from the selected remote and
updates the local remote-tracking branches (for example,
origin/master). Fetch does not modify your current
branch or working tree - it only synchronizes remote references
locally so you can inspect or integrate changes later (for example,
by using rebase or merge).
