| git fetch | git pull |
| Fetch downloads only new data from a remote repository. | Pull is used to update your current HEAD branch with the latest changes from the remote server. |
| Fetch is used to get a new view of all the things that happened in a remote repository. | Pull downloads new data and directly integrates it into your current working copy files. |
| Fetch never manipulates or spoils data. | Pull downloads the data and integrates it with the current working file. |
| It protects your code from merge conflict. | In git pull, there are more chances to create the merge conflict. |
| It is better to use git fetch command with git merge command on a pulled repository. | It is not an excellent choice to use git pull if you already pulled any repository |
