调研方向

Locate the Pro Git v2 source for Chapter 3.5, “Git Branching - Remote Branches,” and find the “Pulling” section. Update the statement so it clearly says that git pull merges the fetched remote branch into the current local branch, then verify the wording in the generated book output.

Describe the bug:

The Pro Git v2 book contains a misleading statement about the behavior of git pull in Chapter 3.5
link: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches

The current statement is:

"git pull will look up what server and branch your current branch is tracking, fetch from that server and then try to merge in that remote branch."

This implies that the merge happens in the remote branch, which is incorrect. The correct behavior is that the merge happens in the local branch.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Go to https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches
  2. Scroll down to "Pulling" section
  3. See error
Expected behavior:

Current Statement:
"git pull will look up what server and branch your current branch is tracking, fetch from that server and then try to merge in that remote branch."

Corrected Statement:
"git pull will look up which server and branch your current branch is tracking, fetch from that server, and then try to merge that remote branch into your current local branch."
