How to update Git clone

Question

I have started using Git. I have cloned the repo on my local system. I make the changes on the local machine and use git push to the update the remote repo. It works fine.

I have a quick query how to update my clone from the remote. I tried git remote update. It did not work, new changes does not appear. I just want to make sure I have recent copy of the repo before I get to work. How I can update the clone?

If you want to fetch + merge, run

git pull 

if you want simply to fetch :

git fetch
