Once the branch and merge request are created, you can pull the branch locally, e.g. :
```
```bash
git fetch
git checkout -t <remote>/<branch name>
git checkout <branch name>
```
If you are unsure about the `<remote>/<branch name>` combination, you can find it with git:
For example, if you branch is named `10-my-feature-branch`, run :
```bash
git fetch
git checkout 10-my-feature-branch
```
git branch -a
You should see the following terminal output :
```bash
branch '10-my-feature-branch' is set up to track 'public/10-my-feature-branch'.
Switched to a new branch '10-my-feature-branch'
```

## After a merge: `git fetch` or `git pull`
After a merge (either on develop, main, or any other branch) occurs on Gitlab, run `git fetch` to update your local repository with the changes from remote, without merging them. Run `git pull` to merge the remote changes into your local repository.
After a merge (either on develop, main, or any other branch) occurs on Gitlab, run `git fetch` to update your local repository with the changes from remote, without merging them. Once you have fetched the changes from the remote repo, run `git merge` to merge the remote branch into your local branch (e.g. update your local develop branch with the latest changes from the Gitlab repo).
Alternatively, run `git pull` to fetch and merge the remote changes into your local repository in one go.
