update_consul is the bash file that synchronizes both consul/consul and your local fork. It is strongly recommended that you automate this via consul_cron either adding it to cron.daily or via crontab -e

.gitconfig actually .git/config in your local area path. Only needed change is url parameter in section origin. Everything else is there for context purposes.
