Which version of the book is affected?

Version 2.1.270, 2020-11-08
Describe the bug:

In Inspecting a Remote subsection, there is sentences about git pull which says:

if you’re on the master branch and you run git pull, it will automatically merge in the master branch on the remote after it fetches all the remote references. It also lists all the remote references it has pulled down.

With my understanding of Git (and English language), the bold remote word should be local

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to Git Basics chapter
  2. Open Working with Remotes section
  3. Navigate to Inspecting a Remote sub section
  4. Check paragraph after $ git remote show origin result

Expected behavior:

I guess this paragraph should be like

It lists the URL for the remote repository as well as the tracking branch information. The command helpfully tells you that if you’re on the master branch and you run git pull, it will automatically merge in the master branch on the local after it fetches all the remote references. It also lists all the remote references it has pulled down.
