Git - pull another remote branch into my local branch

Question

I have a branch called 'my-feature' which tracks remote branch 'origin/my-feature'.

I also have a main branch where all development activity goes (trunk). It's 'dev' and the remote tracking branch is 'origin/dev'.

I create 'my-feature' branch from 'dev' to start with.

I would like to pull all the latest updates from 'dev' branch into my local 'my-feature' branch. When I applied the following command, it failed.

$ git pull --rebase origin/dev
fatal: 'origin/dev' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

How I can pull the remote branch changes into my local branch, if the above is incorrect?

Regards,

Answer 1

Okay, My bad.

When I interpret the manual in this way, things become easier.

Provided that I've checked out the branch ( my-feature I'm trying to work on:

Git pull origin dev

This means, "fetch updates from origin , and then merge latest from origin/dev into my-feature branch.

And to find out what origin means:

git remote --verbose gives out what origin is for push/pull.

Answer 2

我认为您需要像这样运行：

git pull --rebase origin dev
