Final answer:
To pull from a specific remote branch in git, use the command 'git pull origin branch-name', ensuring to replace 'branch-name' with the actual name of the remote branch you want to pull. If the branch does not exist locally, first create and track it with 'git checkout -b branch-name origin/branch-name'.
Step-by-step explanation:
To pull from a specific remote branch in git, you would use the git pull command along with the name of the remote and the branch you want to pull from. For example, if you want to pull from a branch named feature-branch which is on a remote named origin, you would execute the following command:
git pull origin feature-branch
This command fetches the specified branch from the remote repository and merges it into your current local branch. If you want to work on this branch and you do not have it locally, first, you need to check it out using:
git checkout -b feature-branch origin/feature-branch
This will create and check out a new local branch named feature-branch that tracks the remote branch.
