#Git fetch a branch update#
I'll assume that one has already cloned a repo (for e.g. Git Pull-This will update your local branch with the origin/main branch i.e. I have also asked GitHub to give us a copy paste cheatsheet on the web UI at: On Ubuntu 14.04, the Go on the repositories is too old, so GVM is the best option: bash < <(curl -LSs '') Installing hub on Linux is currently a pain if you're not familiar with Go, but worth it.
