git config pull.rebase false

git pull

--> this basically, downloads others commit logs from remote + (plus) downloads the files from remote to local dir.

index pointer stays where it was ! that means, local origin does not point to remote origin, but it is behind.

that means, if you do git status, it will show you the your local commit logs + (plus) other users commit logs

whereas, git config pull.rebase true

git pull

--> this, downloads commit logs from remote + (plus) downloads the files from remote to local dir. + (plus) moves current index (pointer) to latest.
