To update a local repository with changes from a GitHub remote repository, follow these general steps:
Check Your Current Branch: First, make sure you’re on the branch you want to update (e.g., main or master).
Fetch Changes: Retrieve the latest changes from the remote GitHub repository. This step updates your local copy of the remote branches without affecting your working directory.
Merge the Changes: After fetching the changes, incorporate them into your local branch by merging. This will update your local branch with the latest content from the remote repository.
Pull (Optional): Alternatively, you can combine both fetching and merging into one step using the “pull” command. This automatically updates your local repository with the latest changes from the remote branch.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your local repository is up-to-date with the changes made in the remote GitHub repository.
