To update your local Git repository with the new commits from the remote SSH server repository, you need to fetch the changes from the remote and then merge or rebase them into your local branch. Since you cloned the repository via SSH, your remote is already configured to use SSH.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Navigate to your local repository

cd /path/to/your/local/repository

2. Fetch the latest changes from the remote

This downloads all new commits, branches, and tags from the remote repository, but does not merge them into your local branches.

git fetch origin

(Replace origin with the name of your remote if it’s different.)

3. Update your local branch

You have two main options:

Option A: Merge the changes

This creates a merge commit in your local branch.

git merge origin/main

(Replace main with your branch name, e.g., master or develop.)

Option B: Rebase your local changes

This replays your local commits on top of the remote changes, for a cleaner history.

git rebase origin/main

(Again, replace main with your branch name.)

Summary of Commands

cd /path/to/your/local/repository
git fetch origin
git merge origin/main   # or git rebase origin/main

Notes

• If you have uncommitted changes, either git stash them before fetching, or commit them first.
• If you prefer to always pull and rebase, you can set:
  bash

  Copy

  git config --global pull.rebase true

  Then you can simply run:
  bash

  Copy

  git pull
