What I have done for this is connect the iPhone to the Mac, then via the Finder interface, select the phone in the sidebar and select "sync." You may have to go through the settings to make sure all the items you want to sync are selected.
Some things can be synced automatically through iCloud. For this, you need both devices to be logged in to the same iCloud account (Apple ID, or Apple Account) and for the items you want to sync to be selected on both devices in their iCloud settings. This can include Messages, Photos, Music, Notes, as well as other things.

To get you started, please review these links to some of Apple's guidance for syncing your devices with your computer:
Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support
Sync content between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Also note the guidance provided by our friend, @steve626, particularly the info about signing all devices into the same Apple Account and properly configuring the iCloud settings on each device. 👍🏽
