[git] How to update Git clone

I have started using Git. I have cloned the repo on my local system. I make the changes on the local machine and use git push to the update the remote repo. It works fine.

I have a quick query how to update my clone from the remote. I tried git remote update. It did not work, new changes does not appear. I just want to make sure I have recent copy of the repo before I get to work. How I can update the clone?

The answer is


If you want to fetch + merge, run

git pull

if you want simply to fetch :

git fetch

git pull origin master

this will sync your master to the central repo and if new branches are pushed to the central repo it will also update your clone copy.
