How to get updates from a forked repository?

Question

git

Hello everyone, the situation is as follows: I'm just learning to work with git and github and I had a problem getting updates from the repository I forked. More details: I forked the repository, cloned it to a local disk, went out for coffee), came back and noticed that a new file appeared in this repository, after which I decided to pull it with the "git pull" command, but I got "Already up-to- date". I know that before any work with the local repository, it is necessary to check for updates to the remote repository ("git pull" command), what is the correct way to do this in my situation? Thank you!
