Fetch without Merge

git fetch downloads new commits, branches, and tags from a remote repository without merging them into the local branch. It updates the remote-tracking branches, like origin/main, so the developer can inspect incoming changes before deciding to merge or rebase them. This makes fetch a safer way to check for updates compared to git pull, which fetches and merges in one step.
