I think you want to read up on workflows with git and decide whether you
want to rebase or merge. In short, git fetch --all (which is called by
git pull) will update your remote tracking branches (origin/*), and then
you can decide what to do with your local branch (probably master): Do
you merge origin/master into master, or do you rebase master onto
origin/master?
