Pull Main
Switch to the main branch and pull the latest changes from origin/main while pruning stale remote-tracking references.
Step 1: Inspect Current State
Check the current branch:
git branch --show-current
If already on main, note it for the final report.
Step 2: Switch to Main
Switch to the main branch:
git switch main
Step 3: Pull with Prune
Pull the latest changes from origin/main with --prune to remove stale remote-tracking branches:
git pull --prune
Step 4: Report Result
Summarize the operation:
- Whether a branch switch occurred
- Number of commits pulled (fast-forward or merge)
- Any stale remote-tracking branches that were pruned
