$ git help pull

This command is a combination of `git fetch` (to get the commit data) 
and `git merge` (to merge that data with the current working copy).

Typically you want to get the data from the same place where you cloned 
from, in which case a simple `git pull` should be sufficient. If not, 
you should `git help remote` and `git help branch`.
