Git Commands I Forget Too Often

git-commands-chain.md

Keeping fork up to date

git clone /url/to/original/repo                     # clone fork
git remote add upstream /url/to/original/repo       # add remote from original repo
git fetch upstream                                  # fetch content from upstream (i.e., repo forked from)
git pull upstream master                            # fetch and merge upstream into master

Clean up fork and restart from upstream

E.g., send a PR from master, PR was closed, and now want to restart from upstream's latest changes

git remote add upstream /url/to/original/repo       # no needed if set already
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git reset --hard upstream/master  
git push origin master --force
