As i see from your example you're actually trying to sync your local branch 'branchname' with origin/branchname

For this you don't need any additional scripting, you just have to use git pull instead of sequence git checkout branchname; git fetch origin; git merge origin/branchname

take a look at the docs about tracking branches in git and their benefits.

generally speaking if you have a repo layout like this:

git branch -a
...
master
dev1
dev2
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/dev1
remotes/origin/dev2

And your dev1 and dev2 branches are tracking branches for origin/dev1 and origin/dev2 correspondingly then you just need to execute in repository:

git pull

This command will effectively sync up all you local tracking branches with remote ones.
