title: Cloning Updates on Git and Github
body: <p>I cloned a specific repo on Github to my local computer. </p>
  
  <p>I created a new repository on my own github using <code>git clone &lt;repo url&gt;</code> and then made changes on my copied repo and uploaded that to my new repo via git push and commit. </p>
  
  <p>Then the owner of the repo added new files. If I cloned that specific repo it might overwrite my local copy?</p>
  
  <p>How can I update my local file without affecting the changes I've made so far?
  What are the commands I can use?</p>
