Combine the pull flow to sync with the remote.
Remember the Pull Workflow
To synchronize with a remote repository, first decide how you want to inspect the changes. Use git fetch to download only, or git pull to download and integrate into the current branch.
git fetch origin
git pull origin mainIf a conflict occurs during pull, edit the file, stage the resolution, and complete the merge.
Practice Synchronize with the Remote Repository
First download remote information through origin. Then pull the main branch into your current branch and print a short message at the end.
Starter code
print("Senkronizasyon hazırlanıyor")Sample solution
git fetch origin
git pull origin main
print("Uzak depo ile eşitlendi")Expected output
Senkronizasyon hazırlanıyor Uzak depo ile eşitlendi
