Keeping a fork up to date

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
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream

So you've forked a Repository and you want updates...

#tl;dr

setting up a branch to track a repo

pre: assuming you have forked a repo and cloned your fork to your computer

  1. git remote add [maintainer's name] [paste URL here]
  2. git fetch --all
  3. git branch --track [maintainer's name]_[branch] [remote name from step 1]/[branch you want to track] At this point you may watch to checkout to your newly create branch and issue a git pull command.
