Pulling changes for a branch from remote

Question

I'm currently working with 2 others engineers on the same branch. we're working of separate controllers(or just separate files), i'm unable to use git pull origin/<Branch> to update my branch with my teammate's commits. Following error is shown:

fatal: 'origin/<Branch>' 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 do I pull my teammate's changes?

PS is it good practice for different engineer's to be working on the same branch?

Answer 1

Try git pull origin <Branch> (no / ) That's the syntax shown in git-scm.com/docs/git-pull .

In case an error about "origin" persists, try git remote -v to check if the URL you mean is indeed abbreviated as "origin" or maybe has a typo.
