#Using github desktop update#

To update your branch on GitHub, you must push your changes. When you pull to your local branch, you only update your local copy of the repository.

If you make commits from another device or if multiple people contribute to a project, you will need to sync your local branch to keep the branch updated. You can sync your local branch with the remote repository by pulling any commits that have been added to the branch on GitHub Enterprise Cloud since the last time you synced.
