Updating a local repository with changes from a GitHub repository

Question

I ve got a project checked locally from GitHub  and that remote repository has since had changes made to it  What s the correct command to update my local copy with the latest changes

This should work for every default repo   git pull origin master   If your default branch is different than master  you will need to specify the branch name   git pull origin my default branch name

git fetch  remotename    However you ll need to merge any changes into your local branches  If you re on a branch that s tracking a remote branch on Github  then  git pull   will first do a fetch  and then merge in the tracked branch

With an already-set origin master  you just have to use the below command -   git pull  https   github com yourUserName yourRepo git

This question is very general and there are a couple of assumptions I ll make to simplify it a bit  We ll assume that you want to update your master branch   If you haven t made any changes locally  you can use git pull to bring down any new commits and add them to your master   git pull origin master   If you have made changes  and you want to avoid adding a new merge commit  use git pull --rebase   git pull --rebase origin master   git pull --rebase will work even if you haven t made changes and is probably your best call

Probably   git pull origin master
