Syncing your forked repository from the orignal repository

syncing-cool.md

1. To sync your repository, first you must have a pointer from the original repository. Let's call it upstream

$ git remote -v # List all remote repository from your fork
$ git remote add upstream [https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git]

Let us say the original repository is https://github.com/google/material-design-lite

2. Next, fetch the upstream branch

$ git fetch upstream

3. Checkout to your master branch and sync your master to the original master repo

$ git checkout master
$ git merge upstream/master

4. Checkout to your working branch and sync that with your new master

$ git checkout [working-branch]
$ git rebase master # NOTE: It may causes conflicts
