Before we can go on, we will need to update our local copy of the file. We use push to send our changes to the remote, but we use fetch or pull to retrieve changes from the remote. When we fetch the files from the remote we download a read-only copy of the new commits that have been added to the branch since our last fetch. We will then need to merge these read only copies into our local branch. video-slide title video video-script production-notes Fetching Changes from the Remote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5C6yXNaSGo do say Open the CLI Let's go back to our terminal window. do say Type `git checkout master` Since our changes have already been merged to master on the remote, let's go ahead and checkout to our master branch. do say Type `git fetch origin` Now we will type git fetch. We will include origin to tell Git that it is fetching from the remote. do say Type `git status` After the fetch is complete, let's check our status. do say Type `git merge origin/master` Finally, we will type git merge. When we do a merge, we must be checked out to the branch we are merging into. In the merge command, we tell Git which branch we would like to merge into our local branch. In this case, it is origin/master. lab title id presenter-script steps Fetching Changes CONT-EXT-CLI-01-lab-01 Let's fetch the changes made on the remote. description id Fetch the changes.
