how to update my forked branch with master in github code example
Example 1: update my fork repository at github
# Add the remote, call it "upstream":
git remote add upstream https://github.com/whoever/whatever.git
# Fetch all the branches of that remote into remote-tracking branches,
# such as upstream/master:
git fetch upstream
# Make sure that you're on your master branch:
git checkout master
# Rewrite your master branch so that any commits of yours that
# aren't already in upstream/master are replayed on top of that
# other branch:
git rebase upstream/master
Example 2: how to update forked repo in GitHub
## Clone your fork:
git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git
## Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:
cd into/cloned/fork-repo
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream
## Updating your fork from original repo to keep up with their changes:
git pull upstream master
