Git pulls code from other branches of a remote repository

solution

In Git, if you are currently in the main branch (main or master) and want to pull code from another branch (such as feature branch), you can follow these steps:

1. Ensure that your main branch is up-to-date：

First, update your main branch from the remote repository to ensure that you have the latest code.

git checkout main  # or git checkout master
git pull origin main  # or git pull origin master

2. Switch to the branch where you want to pull the code：

Switch to the target branch feature-branch.

git checkout feature-branch

3. Retrieve the latest code of the target branch from the remote repository：

Pull the latest code of the target branch.

git pull origin feature-branch

4. Merge the code of the target branch into the main branch：

Code to switch back to the main branch and merge the target branch.

git checkout main  # or git checkout master
git merge feature-branch

5. Resolve conflicts (if any)：

If there is a conflict during the merge process, Git will prompt you to resolve the conflict. You need to manually edit the conflict file and mark the conflict as resolved.

# edit the conflict file，fix the conflict.
git add <conflict file>
git commit

6. Push the merged code to a remote repository：

Push the merged code to a remote repository.

git push origin main  # or git push origin master

In summary, these steps ensure that you obtain the latest code from the remote repository and securely merge the code from another branch into the main branch.
