Pretty much any case. You want one or more remotes, just not named ‘origin’, since that’s a highly undescriptive name that implies that there’s a single origin for something.

git init, git remote add, git fetch. I consider git pull to be harmful because it tries to do too much. It’s much cleaner to use fetch, and then either merge or rebase by hand as you see fit after having reviewed what’s changed.
