fork and creating pull request
Fork the repo and clone
1. List the current configured remote repository for your fork: git remote -v
2. Specify a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork: git remote add upstream git@github.com:[ORIGINAL_OWNER]/[REPO_NAME].git
3. Verify the new upstream repository you haveve specified for your fork: git remote -v
# origin git@github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git (fetch)
# origin git@github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git (push)
# upstream git@github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/REPO_NAME.git (fetch)
# upstream git@github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/REPO_NAME.git (push)
Syncing a fork
1. Fetch the branches and their respective commits from the upstream repository: git fetch upstream
2. Check out your local master branch: git checkout master
3. Merge the changes from 'upstream/master' into your local 'master' branch. This brings your master branch into sync with the upstream repository, without losing your local changes: git merge upstream/master
