• To create a backup of the repository on GitHub

• To make a copy of the repository on your local machine

• git copy

• git fetch

• git clone

What is the first step to updating your local branch with changes from a remote repository?

• Pushing changes

• Merging changes

• Fetching changes

• Deleting the remote branch

What does the git fetch command do?

• Downloads updates from a remote repository but does not apply them

• Merges updates into your local branch automatically

• Deletes the local repository

• Pushes changes to the remote repository

What is the second step after fetching changes from a remote repository?

• Deleting the remote branch

• Committing changes

• Merging changes

What does the git push -d command do?

• Pushes a new branch to the remote repository

• Deletes a branch from the remote repository

• Creates a remote-tracking branch

• Merges changes from the remote repository

What happens when you run git fetch -p?

• Fetches new commits and applies them automatically

• Removes remote-tracking branches that no longer exist remotely

• Deletes the local repository

• Creates a new remote-tracking branch

If a branch has been deleted on GitHub, what must you do to remove the remote-tracking branch locally?

• Run git merge origin/main

• Run git fetch -p

• Run git push origin main

• Delete the repository

What is a remote-tracking branch?

• A branch that exists only on the local repository

• A branch that keeps track of changes in a remote repository

• A branch that is permanently deleted after fetching

• A branch that automatically merges itself
