Sorry for not sending a patch, I was following the tutorial and found this, in the section "Using git for collaboration": 307 With this, you can perform the first operation alone using the 308 "git fetch" command without merging them with her own branch, 309 using: I think that "you" should be replaced with "she". I have a suggestion also that I don't know how to fix. The text in that section seems to say something like you need to add a "remote" alias to be able to run fetch for retrieving without merging: ...[remote add <alias>]... 307 With this, you can perform the first operation alone using the 308 "git fetch" command without merging them with her own branch, 309 using: ....[fetch <alias>]... 315 Unlike the longhand form, when Alice fetches from Bob using a 316 remote repository shorthand set up with `git remote`, what was 317 fetched is stored in a remote tracking branch, in this case 318 `bob/master`. So after this: I'm not sure, but I think that you could use fetch without the need of an alias. I think that here it is trying to avoid more advanced explanations or longer commands, however I don't know how to say it better, perhaps mentioning that this way it is easier, without omitting that it could be done without a "remote" alias for the repo. That's all, thank you - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
