After git fetch, how to fast forward my branch?
I did `git fetch` to quickly get latest commits. I did this instead of `git pull` so I could deal with merge conflicts offline. But my repository is still stuck on the old commit, and now `git pull` fails because I can no longer connect to the internet. How do I "activate" the changes that I fetched?
