A developer is working on a feature that is based on an outdated main branch. What strategy should they use to update their branch with the latest changes from the main branch?

  • git fetch origin main && git merge origin/main
  • git pull origin main
  • git rebase origin/main
  • git branch update && git merge update
When working on an outdated branch, using git pull origin main is recommended. This fetches the latest changes and automatically merges them into the developer's branch. Using git fetch and git merge separately provides more control over the process. Options 1 and 3 are correct commands but combined in a way that might lead to unnecessary complications. Option 4 does not follow the typical Git workflow.
