You can pull another branch without switching first:
git switch my-test-branch
...
git pull origin main:main
git rebase main
- WickyNilliams 9mo agoNice. That'll make things a bit smoother. Changing branches often trips me up when I would later `git switch -`.
- huntervang 9mo agoI have always done `git pull origin main -r`
- mroche 9mo agoLikewise with the other way around, just switch pull with push.
- hiccuphippo 9mo agoYou can also rebase directly on the remote branch git fetch git rebase origin/main
- 1718627440 9mo ago> git rebase origin/main When is that command actually useful? When you want to rebase it is likely because your local and the upstream branch have diverged, so this would just result in weird conflicts, because origin/main is no longer an ancestor to main. Wouldn't you want to use something like: git rebase $(git merge-base main origin/main) main --onto=origin/main or git rebase origin/main@{1} main --onto=origin/main ?
