in task 3 you add a remote and named it tommy using

git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git

in task 4 you need to pull from the master branch of that remote named tommy using git pull

generally a pull looks like

git pull remote_name branch_name

so for task 4 you would use

git pull tommy master
