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
