The `origin/tex-build-only` is a direct copy of the remote branch, when you call `git fetch`, this branch is synchronized with the remote branch. The other branch `tex-build-only` is your local copy. When you do `git pull` while on the local branch `tex-build-only`, this is effectively translated as two commands `git fetch origin tex-build-only` followed by `git merge origin/tex-build-only` So the remote branch `origin/tex-build-only` is synchronized then merged into the local branch `tex-build-only`. The reason is that you can make changes to your local branch without affecting the remote branch (until you do `git push`). Also, after making changes to your local branch, you can get changes from other contributors and merge them into your local branch before pushing. Best regards, -- Al
