From git-fetch(8):

       <repository>
           The "remote" repository that is the source of a fetch or
pull operation.
           This parameter can be either a URL (see the section GIT URLS below)
           or the name of a remote (see the section REMOTES below).

You can run git fetch / git pull with a URL or a local path to a repository, not only origin etc.
