Raw

git_sync_forkedRepo.md

1. Clone your fork:

git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git

2. Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:

cd into/cloned/fork-repo
# Add the remote, call it "upstream":
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
# Fetch all the branches of that remote into remote-tracking branches,
# such as upstream/master:  
git fetch upstream
# Make sure that you're on your master branch
git checkout master

3. Updating your fork from original repo to keep up with their changes:

git pull upstream master

4. Pushing changes from local-repo to remote-repo

git push origin master
