You can pull another branch without switching first:

  git switch my-test-branch
  ...
  git pull origin main:main
  git rebase main

You can also rebase directly on the remote branch

    git fetch
    git rebase origin/main

Nice. That'll make things a bit smoother. Changing branches often trips me up when I would later `git switch -`.

Likewise with the other way around, just switch pull with push.

I have always done `git pull origin main -r`
