Yes. I'm not sure what the 'update' argument to 'git remote' does (can't find 
it in
the docs but when I run it I see it says "fetching origin") but the commands 
you want
to pull changes from dabo's working to your working are:

git checkout working  ## if you aren't already on that branch
git pull

The first changes HEAD to point to the tip of your local 'working' branch. The 
second
is actually two git commands rolled into one:

git fetch
git merge ## (merge commits from origin/working with your local working)

If you don't have local changes you eventually want to commit on your local 
branch,
git pull is just fine. Otherwise I like 'git fetch; git rebase' because it'll 
(try
to) cleanly apply the commits you fetched to your branch instead of resulting 
in a
commit on your local branch for the merge.

You should google 'git tutorial' and read up. It doesn't take too long to get 
up to
speed although some of the commands do seem needlessly arcane at least at first.
