The tutorial emphasizes the best practices for using 'git pull' to ensure smooth collaboration among team members working on the same project.

Why is 'git pull' important when working with a team?

• It allows you to delete unwanted branches.

• It helps in synchronizing changes made by different team members.

What is a good practice when working with multiple team members on a shared branch?

• git fetch origin main

• git merge origin main

• git pull origin main

• git clone origin main

What is the primary role of 'git pull' in a collaborative environment?
