Learn git fetch, pull, and push with a visual remote workflow
Practice syncing with origin/master: fetch remote refs, push your commits, and pull when the remote moves ahead — all on an interactive commit graph.

See origin/* refs appear after fetch
2
Push local master to update origin/master
3
Pull and merge when histories diverge

Git remote FAQ
- What does git fetch do?
- Fetch downloads remote commits and updates origin/* references without merging them into your current branch.
- When should I use git pull?
- Use pull when you want to integrate remote changes into your current branch — it fetches and merges in one step.
- What is origin/master?
- It is the remote-tracking branch that points to the last known commit on master at origin.
- Can I practice remotes without a real server?
- Yes. Game4Git simulates origin with visual refs on the graph so you can learn safely in the browser.
