I have done a 'git fetch' but the repo is not being updated to
latest changes.
I am getting the message :-
"Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 53 commits, and can be
fast-forwarded.
when I do a 'git checkout master'
What is going on here and what can I do about it ?
<snip config>
A fetch just updates your remote tracking branches in your local
repository, it doesn't merge them as well. To update your local master
you would then do (while on branch master):
$ git merge origin/master
This extra step allows you to create a new branch with origin/master
as its start point to check that you're happy with the updates before
you update your local master should you wish to do so.
Cheers,
Rob
