33.47 Git Commands to Avoid

$ git pull

This performs a fetch and merge. This risks getting stuck with the merge popping up an editor inside emacs. There are fixes for that but a fetch and then a rebase is a more comfortable work flow.

$ git merge origin/main

This merges any repository updates after a fetch into the local copy of main.
