Updating a local repository with changes from a Github repository

Question

I've got a project checked locally from github, that remote repo has since had changes made to it. What's the correct command to update my local copy with the latest changes?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

probably:

git pull origin
