git commands for new repo

Git setup

In UI create a fork.

git clone <fork url>

git remote add upstream <url of the original repo I forked from>   # Define what is the upstream
git config --global pull.rebase true  # Set the local repository to rebase on pull
git branch --set-upstream-to upstream/main # Set local main to track upstream

git checkout <local branch>

git pull upstream main   # Sync local branch with the upstream main.  this will also rebase per the setting above

git commit -m <original commit msg> -s --amend   # From 2nd commit onwards makes sure there's only one commit
git push --force
