[[git scenario]] where you would like to [[git pull]] changes from the other branch directly into your current branch.
The long path of pulling in changes from the `other` branch to the `current` one is:
```bash
git checkout <other>
git pull
git checkout <current>
git merge <other>
```
Which includes additional usage of [[git checkout]] and [[git merge]].
But can can simply do: [^1]
```bash
git pull origin <other>
```
