No, it downloads all the commits you don't already have from the
remote repository and stores
...stores the code but not in your repo directories. The code is retained
in some Git data file in the installation direction, I suppose.
I asked this before, but didn't see an answer:
origin == original clone? I guess not.
origin == original remote repo from which the local clone was created.
them locally so you can later merge,
rebase, examine, checkout, build, etc.
I need to be able to see this code in the GUI, in order to do a check-out (I
don't get to use the code until it is checked-out.)
I'm having trouble finding rigorous definitions for Git terms, so that I can
reason reliably about actions to the repo. A "check-out" is an actual
copying of files (in their appropriate directories) into the working
directory. These seem to be able to come from the origin (the source of the
local clone) or the local clone itself. An "update" seems to be the same
but involving only the latest deltas you don't have, applied to a named
branch (like the clean branch for x86 Windows) you've previously
checked-out.

The above page is mostly about command syntax.
