use git pull   git pull origin yourbranch

Your modifications are in a different branch than the original branch  which simplifies stuff because you get updates in one branch  and your work is in another branch   Assuming the original branch is named master  which the case in 99  of git repos  you have to fetch the state of origin  and merge origin master updates into your local master    git fetch origin  git checkout master  git merge origin master   To switch to your branch  just do    git checkout branch1

Although git pull origin yourbranch works  it s not really a good idea  You can alternatively do the following   git fetch origin git merge origin yourbranch   The first line fetches all the branches from origin  but doesn t merge with your branches  This simply completes your copy of the repository   The second line merges your current branch with that of yourbranch that you fetched from origin  which is one of your remotes    This is assuming origin points to the repository at address ssh   11 21 3 12 23211 dir1 dir2
