When you work with GitHub, you are often collaborating with others or even just updating your own project from another computer. The command to get the latest updates from GitHub onto your computer is called a pull. Think of it as downloading the newest photos your friends have added to a shared album—every time you pull, you get all the newest changes that have been made on GitHub since your last update.

# To download the latest changes from the GitHub repository, use:
git pull

When you run git pull, several things happen behind the scenes:

• Git connects to the GitHub repository to check for any new changes;
• It downloads the latest updates that have been added since your last pull;
• Git then tries to automatically merge those updates into your local project;
• If there are no conflicts, your files are updated with the newest version;
• If there are conflicts, Git will ask you to resolve them before finishing the update.

Pulling is important for teamwork because it makes sure everyone is working with the most up-to-date files. If you forget to pull, you might miss changes from your teammates or accidentally overwrite their work. By regularly pulling, you help keep your project in sync and avoid confusion.

# Imagine you (or a teammate) made a change directly on GitHub,
# such as editing the README file in the web interface.

# To get that change onto your computer, use:
git pull

# Now your local project will include the updated README file.
