Hi all. This is just a simple question. Most of the discussions of "merge from master to my branch" I've seen recommend this:
git checkout master git pull git checkout <mybranch> git merge master I did things this way at first, but as I understood git more it seemed to me that far simpler, and completely equivalent (with the exception that the master branch is not updated, which is fine) would be: git fetch git merge origin/master Is there some downside to this alternative that I'm not seeing, or other consideration (philosophical or otherwise) that should be taken?
