[Feature Request] Pull/fetch branch without switching to it #2216

Closed ElmarTalibzade closed 1 month ago

ElmarTalibzade commented 1 month ago

I've been finding myself merging main branch into my feature branch lately.

But to do this, I have to:

  1. switch to the main branch
  2. initiate git pull/fetch
  3. do the merge
  4. switch back to the feature branch

I was hoping to be able to right click on the target branch and select "pull" or "fetch" command.

I remember GitKraken having this feature for quite some time.

My current workaround is this command:

$ git fetch origin main:main

It's called "fast-forward".

Learning something new. Thanks a lot!

I've been using Fork for almost 5 years: bought licenses for personal and work!

Keep up the great work! 🎉
