Merge a forked gist

merge.md

If someone forks a gist and you'd like to merge their changes. Do this:

1. clone your repo, I use the name of the gist

    git clone git://gist.github.com/1163142.git gist-1163142
   

2. add a remote for the forked gist, I'm using the name of my fellow developer

    git remote add aaron git://gist.github.com/1164196.git
   

3. pull and merge the new remote into master

    git pull aaron master
   

4. push the changes

    git push
   

Another solution is:

git clone git@gist.github.com:2322786.git
git remote add changes git://gist.github.com/2661995.git
git fetch changes
git merge changes/master
git push
