Working with Forks

Configure a remote for a fork

List remotes repositories.

git remote -v

Add a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork.

git remote add upstream [email protected]:ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git

Changing a remote's URL

We'll update upstream remote.

git remote set-url upstream [email protected]:ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git

###Syncing a fork

Fetch the branches and their respective commits from the upstream repository. Commits to master will be stored in a local branch, upstream/master.

git fetch upstream

Merge the changes from upstream/master into your local master branch.

git merge upstream/master
