How can I pull the last changes from remote branch in Github?

Question

I have common github repo with others. Someone implemented a code in his branch named refactor/changes and pushed it into our common repo without opening pull request.

I access it through this code shown below

git branches -a
git checkout -b refactor/changes remotes/origin/refactor/changes

Someone also added some codes in the repo and pushed it again.

How can I get the last changes from remotes/origin/refactor/changes to my local branch named refactor/changes ?

If you don't know `git pull`, maybe reading a small introduction tutorial about git is good idea... — Philippe, Apr 15 '23 at 23:21
@Philippe I know `git pull` but I want to make a sure this command is used for that. — S.N, Apr 15 '23 at 23:29
@S.N You should try it and see. Fortunately almost anything you do with git is reversable, so there's very little risk in testing most commands. — Code-Apprentice, Apr 15 '23 at 23:39

I recommend that you read more about both `git fetch` and `git pull`. They do two different things and are both useful depending on the result you want. – Code-Apprentice Apr 15 '23 at 23:43
