Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying. I recently saw a diagram that describes git pull as git fetch + git merge. That makes it easier for me to distinguish the two.
Not only can it be described as such, it is exactly that. From the git pull doc page:
"In its default mode, git pull is shorthand for git fetch followed by git merge FETCH_HEAD."
