git pull from fork code example

Example 1: git pull updates from fork

$ cd github-services
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/pjhyett/github-services.git
$ git fetch upstream

# then: (like "git pull" which is fetch + merge)
$ git merge upstream/master master

# or, better, replay your local work on top of the fetched branch
# like a "git pull --rebase"
$ git rebase upstream/master

Example 2: update fork

git fetch upstream

git checkout master

git merge upstream/master

git push origin

Example 3: steps to sync branch to fork master?

$ git remote -v
> origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)

Example 4: steps to sync branch to fork master?

$ git checkout master
> Switched to branch 'master'
