Sync a github forked repo
Snippet
Posted by kitt at 13:29 on 10 August 2014
Forking a github repo inherently takes it out of the originating repo flow. Sync it back this way.
# check your remotes git remote -v # origin git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch) # origin git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push) # add the remote git remote add upstream git@github.com:ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git # note, the original docs assume you don't have a github account set up properly. If not, do this one: # git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git # and confirm git remote -v # might look like this: # origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch) # origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push) # upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (fetch) # upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (push) # get the changes from the originating repo git fetch upstream # check out the master branch to sync to git checkout master # and sync away git merge upstream/master # then back to your branch and continue git co this-is-my-branch git rebase master git push --force origin this-is-my-branch # etc.
