Hello

I noticed that the working upon a rejected pull request is "fetch first". However, AFAIK fetching will not help with the pull.

So I suggest to change that wording.
Example:
```bash
$ git push
To ssh://git.exemple.com/user/repo.git
  ! [rejected]            main -> main (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git.exemple.com/user/repo.git'
```
Kind regards
Mario
