I'll answer my own question here, or essentially lmgtfm (where m="myself")...
https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorial/remote-repositories#!fetch

"The git fetch command imports commits from a remote repository into your local repo. The resulting commits are stored as remote branches instead of the normal local branches that we’ve been working with. This gives you a chance to review changes before integrating them into your copy of the project."

"...So, unlike SVN, synchronizing your local repository with a remote repository is actually a two-step process: fetch, then merge. The git pull command is a convenient shortcut for this process"

I get it now.   (-;

Q: is "git fetch origin develop" not enough to keep things up to date?  I do this prior to every work session expecting to pull all changes from github into my repo.  (...rather like an svn update.)
