Keeping Your Local Copy Up to Date
If you've already cloned the repository, you don't need to download it again every time there's an update.
Update to the Latest master
- First, open a terminal and navigate to the project folder:
cd C:\Users\username\Downloads\iss14
- Fetch the latest changes from GitHub:
git fetch origin
- Switch to the master branch (if you aren't already on it):
git switch master
- Then update your local copy:
git pull
This will download and merge the latest changes from the master branch.
If You Downloaded the Repository a Week Ago
Simply run:
cd iss14git switch mastergit pull
Your local copy will be updated to the newest version without needing to clone the repository again.
Downloading a Specific Release Branch

git switch master
git pull
