Updating a local repository with changes from a GitHub repository

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?


Solution 1:

Probably:

was: git pull origin master

now: git pull origin main

Solution 2:

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
