I just updated and noticed some more 'get/hit' lines, repeated the command and there are now only 'hit'. Can anyone explain this process a bit? My apologies if this is a dumb question.
Why does linux check different repos at different times?

Linux check the file online, and check for change compared to the local file on your computer, if there is a change, then it GET (download) the whole new file, as you can see in the first command!

"Hit" means that the local cached file matches the file on the server.
