🚀 How to Pull from GitHub

Pulling from GitHub means fetching the latest changes from the remote repository and merging them into your local branch.

📌 Steps to Pull Changes from GitHub

1️⃣ Navigate to Your Repository

If you haven’t cloned the repo yet, do so:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/repository-name.gitcd repository-name

2️⃣ Check Your Current Branch

Before pulling, make sure you're on the correct branch:

git branch

If needed, switch branches:

git checkout main

3️⃣ Fetch the Latest Changes

To get the latest updates without merging:

git fetch origin

4️⃣ Pull Changes from GitHub

To update your local branch with remote changes:

git pull origin main

For another branch:

git pull origin feature-branch

5️⃣ Resolve Merge Conflicts (If Any)

If Git shows a merge conflict:

1. Open the conflicting file.
2. Manually edit the conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>).
3. Stage the resolved file:

   git add filename
   

4. Commit the resolution:

   git commit -m "Resolved merge conflict"
   

🔥 Example Workflow

git checkout maingit pull origin main

🎯 Summary

✅ Switch to the correct branch → git checkout branch-name
✅ Fetch latest changes → git fetch origin
✅ Pull updates → git pull origin branch-name
✅ Resolve conflicts if necessary
