Pulling remote branch without checkout (from another branch)

Question

I am participating in a project with many branches and when I work on my branch, another branch (for example master) gets updated on remote. I indeed would like to pull changes to it without changing my current branch (without checking out). Is this possible and if yes, how?

Try git fetch <remote> <source>:<destination> .

This worked for me git-forward-merge <source> <destination> But it doesn't work for merges that require conflict resolution.
