I am having trouble understanding the process of merging origin/master, specifically the text required to do this.
Does anyone have any information on this?

correct answer is:
step 1:
cd my-quizzes
step 2:
git fetch origin
git merge origin/master
step 3:
git log

git fetch origin
is not required in those steps.

it is if you reload the page
The course should be updated to include this information. A simple note stating that if you see:
merge: origin/master - not something we can merge
you will need to issue the command:
git fetch origin

i cannot find the right steps to proceed, i’ve tried the steps told in this page but none of those seems to be the right ones. Pls help
I also had to use the git fetch origin command first. Says nothing about it on my screen / instructions.
thanks brother, you are a genius!
Yeah very correct. Just need to reset then type
git fetch origin
git merge origin/master
I followed the same steps but still getting below error
fatal: ‘/home/ccuser/workspace/curriculum-a/science-quizzes’ does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Not able to move forward…
