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
   

This doesn't seem quite right. In case it's helpful to anyone else, I add to use a : instead of a / between the domain and the repository, i.e.:

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

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

How to merge two gist into one gist after regular time interval?

@SalMaster007 You need a script to automate this. And a scheduler (such as a cron job, a web hook, ...) to run it regularly.
