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
git pull origin master
this will sync your master to the central repo and if new branches are pushed to the central repo it will also update your clone copy.
In current GitHub nomenclature 'master' was replaced with 'main', so the command to use is git pull origin main
In Android Studio its VCS then Pull then Master
