just need to run git fetch , which will retrieve all branches and updates, and after that, run git checkout <branch> which will create a local copy of the branch because all branches are already loaded in your system.
After running the stash command for a branch, if the git user wants to pull the branch's changes to another branch, it can be done easily by using the `git stash pop` command that works like the `git merge` command.
The git pull command is used to fetch and download content from a remote repository and immediately update the local repository to match that content. Merging remote upstream changes into your local repository is a common task in Git-based collaboration work flows.
The content of the multiple remote repositories can be pulled to the local drive by using the command, `git pull origin` or `git pull upstream`.
git pull
is really just a shorthand for git pull <remote> <branchname>
, in most cases it's equivalent to git pull origin master
. You will need to add another remote and pull explicitly from it. This page describes it in detail:

upstream
in the github example is just the name they've chosen to refer to that repository. You may choose any that you like when using git remote add
. Depending on what you select for this name, your git pull
usage will change. For example, if you use:
git remote add upstream git://github.com/somename/original-project.git
then you would use this to pull changes:
git pull upstream master
But, if you choose origin for the name of the remote repo, your commands would be:
To name the remote repo in your local config: git remote add origin git://github.com/somename/original-project.git
And to pull: git pull origin master
