So basically I'm using software from GitHub that I cloned a few days ago. Didn't do anything else. Just cloned it. So I was wondering how I could update the clone since a new version of the code has been released. Thank you!

The command git pull is what you're looking for. It fetches changes from the repository on GitHub, called the remote, and merges them in to your local branch.

@TheMartian32 Are you definitely running this inside the cloned folder? You need to be there so you're inside the repository. – Oliver Dunk Aug 11 '20 at 22:39

@The When you cloned the repo Git created a folder to put the contents in. You need to `cd` into that folder where the contents of the repository is to be able to run Git commands on that repository. – grg Aug 11 '20 at 22:47
