You are actually asking two questions: in the title – how to pull without merge (I came here for this question, originally;) in the description – how to check out a branch without merging in to master Pull remote branch without merge # Assuming you are on wanted branch (b1) already git pull –rebase No … Read more
When you pulled the branch, did you use the “–track” option (in order to keep you local branch tracking the remote branch). If you did not, it can explain that the “merge” command that does not work. You can do the merge manually: git fetch git merge origin/groups To compare local and remote repos, I … Read more
When the repository is cloned, you will see all of the remote branches under “Remotes” in the Sidebar. If any content is missing, you can click Fetch to fetch all objects necessary to complete the history for all branches and tags in the remote repository. If you can see it in SourceTree, it’s stored on … Read more

In any case, to prune deleted remote branches, either fetch with git fetch -p or run git remote prune [-n] <name> explicitly. With the -n flag, it will report … Read more

When you did a git-pull, modifications from the remote branch were merged into your local branch. The automatically generated commit signifies that. Merging could have resulted in conflicts, which would then need to be resolved manually. In your particular case, this did not happen and git could take care of everything.
The message “client_global_hostkeys_private_confirm: server gave bad signature for RSA key 0” is not an error, it is a warning, and it is related to some ssh versioning issue. It used to be very common to receive from GitLab. If you want it to go away, you can make sure that your ~/.ssh/config contains the following: … Read more
The Short Answer As long as you’re doing a fast-forward merge, then you can simply use git fetch <remote> <sourceBranch>:<destinationBranch> Examples: # Merge local branch foo into local branch master, # without having to checkout master first. # Here `.` means to use the local repository as the “remote”: git fetch . foo:master # Merge … Read more
