What is difference between "Fetch" and "Pull" ?? #111

@shidhupatil1149 Great question! 'Pull' is a combination command.

git pull = git fetch + git merge

AKA, git fetch updates your remote tracking branches. git pull does that, AND updates the branch you're on with any new work on the remote branch. Does that answer your question?
