Not the way one might have thought. In hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation, some gas follows the traditionally envisioned route, shock heating to the halo virial temperature before cooling to the much lower temperature of the neutral ISM. But most gas enters galaxies without ever heating close to the virial temperature, gaining thermal energy from weak shocks and adiabatic compression, and radiating it just as quickly. This ``cold mode'' accretion is channeled along filaments, while the conventional, ``hot mode'' accretion is quasi-spherical. Cold mode accretion dominates high redshift growth by a substantial factor, while at z<1 the overall accretion rate declines and hot mode accretion has greater relative importance. The decline of the cosmic star formation rate at low z is driven largely by geometry, as the typical cross section of filaments begins to exceed that of the galaxies at their intersections.

MIGHTEE-HI: Environmental effects of cosmic filaments on extragalactic HI detections in the COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields
Filaments in the cosmic web measurably change how often galaxies are detected in HI, reducing detections in low-density late-type galaxies and enhancing them in massive early-type galaxies.

Gas accretion at high redshift: cold flows all the way
Cold filamentary accretion dominates gas supply in massive galaxies at z=2-4, and a double-sigmoid model describes how the cold fraction evolves with mass and redshift.

First Results from the TNG50 Simulation: Galactic outflows driven by supernovae and black hole feedback
TNG50 shows galactic outflow mass loading is non-monotonic with stellar mass, rising rapidly above 10^10.5 Msun due to black hole feedback, and produces fast multi-phase outflows with emergent collimation.

Cosmic web stripping and starvation of low-mass filament galaxies in TNG50
Low-mass filament galaxies in TNG50 exhibit smaller asymmetric cold gas discs due to cosmic web tidal fields causing altered accretion or starvation and late-time stripping, while integrated stellar and halo propertie...
