How to update a fork
# Clone your fork | |
``` | |
$ git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repository-name.git | |
``` | |
# Create a remote upstream with the original repository | |
``` | |
$ cd your-repository-name | |
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/original-username/repository-name-forked.git | |
``` | |
# Update your repository | |
``` | |
$ cd your-repository-name | |
$ git fetch upstream | |
$ git pull upstream master | |
``` | |
I keep a branch as the original where then I check before the merge. So before the git-pull command, I run git-checkout for updating only that branch. | |
