# Git Update Branch While On Other Branch

I have those moments quite frequently, I need to update my `develop` branch, but I don't want to switch to it in git.

Well, I discovered a way to fetch another branch you’re working in, but you don’t need to switch.

```bash
git fetch origin develop:develop
```

With this command, you can continue to work in your feature branch and update the `develop` or `master` branch. No need to stash your current changes because you need to switch branches anymore!

It’s super easy and valuable to me. I thought It might be helpful to you as well 👍
