How, then, do I update code? ie. I perform my initial clone, make some changes and commit / push them. Someone else then comes along, makes some changes and commits them. The next day, I do Remote -> Fetch from -> origin to update my code to the latest in Git but c:\git\test\clone\README is exactly the same as it was before. How do I update the initial clone such that I can edit the updated files?
