Git: Merge a Remote branch locally

Question

I\'ve pulled all remote branches via git fetch --all. I can see the branch I\'d like to merge via git branch -a as remotes/origin/branchname. Probl

Answer 1

Maybe you want to track the remote branch with a local branch:

1. Create a new local branch: git branch new-local-branch
2. Set this newly created branch to track the remote branch: git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/remote-branch new-local-branch
3. Enter into this branch: git checkout new-local-branch
4. Pull all the contents of the remote branch into the local branch: git pull
