How to pull changes from a remote repository to your local repository?

To pull changes from a remote repository to your local repository, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory of your local repository using the cd command.
  3. Use the git pull command followed by the remote repository URL to fetch and merge the changes into your local repository.

Here is an example of the command:

git pull origin main

In this example, origin is the name of the remote repository, and main is the branch you want to pull changes from. You may need to replace these values with the actual remote repository name and branch.

  1. Enter your credentials (if required) to authenticate with the remote repository.
  2. Wait for the changes to be pulled and merged into your local repository. If there are conflicts, you may need to resolve them manually.
  3. After the pull is complete, you can use the git log command to view the commit history and verify that the changes have been successfully pulled.

Note: It is recommended to commit and push any local changes before pulling from the remote repository to avoid conflicts.
