FWIW: remember that "clone" is _only for the first time_, too... after that you 
would "fetch" and/or "pull" to bring in the changes...

to clarify:
"fetch" tells your local git to retrieve the latest meta-data info from the 
original repo but it doesn’t do any file transfers...

"pull" tells your local git to retrieve the latest meta-data info and to also do 
the actual transfers and apply them to your clone...


i use a bash script that contains the following routine which does the main work 
of *updating* my local repos... selection of the repo and changing into its 
directory are done outside this fairly generic routine...

----->8 snip 8<-----
function _gitUpdate(){
   if [ "$DOWNLOAD" != "y" ]; then
     return
   fi

   local branch="$1"
   set +e
   git diff --exit-code 2>&1 > /dev/null
   if [[ $? != 1 ]]; then
     set -e
     git fetch origin
     git checkout --force "$branch"
     git pull --rebase
   else
     set -e
     git fetch origin
     git stash save --include-untracked --quiet
     git checkout --force "$branch"
     git pull --rebase
     git stash pop --quiet
   fi
}

this routine checks if there have been upstream updates... if you have any local 
changes, they will be stashed first, then the upstream updates will be pulled 
after which your stash will be applied so your local changes are available... if 
you have no local changes, then no stashing and popping are involved...

if there is a conflict when popping, it requires fairly standard conflict 
resolution and cleanup... i'll leave that to the reader to follow up and 
understand...

hopefully this helps and doesn't add to the confusion...
