To fetch updates from a remote Git repository without merging, you can use the following steps:
Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the local Git repository you want to update.
Run the command git fetch <remote>, where <remote> is the name of the remote repository you want to fetch updates from. This command retrieves the latest changes from the remote repository without merging them into your current branch.
After running the fetch command, you can inspect the changes by running git log <remote>/<branch>, where <branch> is the name of the branch you want to view updates for. This will show you the commits that were fetched from the remote repository.
If you want to merge the fetched updates into your local branch, you can run git merge <remote>/<branch>. However, if you don't want to merge the updates immediately, you can skip this step.
By following these steps, you will have fetched the updates from the remote repository without merging them into your local branch.
