Key points

Git pull :

– Internally it is 'git fetch' + 'git merge'.

Git fetch :

– Gets all the changes but does not apply to working copy.

Git rebase :

– Changes the commit history to match remote repo and applies

changes to working copy.

There are two ways to integrate changes 'merge' and 'rebase'

respectively.
