Question

I have created a new commit, but forgot to pull before that. (I should have used git stashand than git pull.) Now if I git pull, I get an additional commit “merge origin/<branch> to <branch>” (Some commits have already been pushed by some other colleagues.), which I don’t want.

Is there any way to do git pull without merging?

Answer 1

git pull is essentially git fetch followed by git merge, so if you want a pull without the merge, just do git fetch.
