The command cs update is used to update or refresh the local repository in Git using the GitHub Classroom Assistant tool.

When you use GitHub Classroom to manage assignments, each assignment is typically created as a separate repository. The cs update command helps you keep your local copy of the assignment repository up to date with any changes made by the instructor or any updates to the assignment.

Here's how the command works:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where your local copy of the assignment repository is stored.
2. Run the cs update command.
3. The GitHub Classroom Assistant tool will connect to the remote assignment repository on GitHub or other supported Git hosting platforms.
4. It will then check for any updates in the repository since your last update.
5. If there are any updates or changes, the tool will download and merge those changes into your local repository, ensuring that your copy is up to date.
6. Once the updates or changes are successfully merged, you will have the most recent version of the assignment code on your local machine.

This command simplifies the process of updating your local repository and ensures that you're working with the most current version of the assignment.
