I want to pull changes from specified branch to my local repository, but I don't wont it to merge with master branch. What is the right way to do that? Do I have to make my own branch and than pull?

git pull is the same as git fetch followed by git merge.

To create a local branch tracking a branch on a remote, first fetch from the remote and then run git checkout with the name of a branch that matches that on the remote:

git fetch <remote>
git checkout <branch>
  • <remote> is the name of the remote, for instance origin.
  • <branch> is the name of a branch on that remote. If git branch -r shows a branch name origin/foo, Git should set this up correctly if you do git checkout foo.
