git pull from upstream code example
Example 1: update my fork repository at github
git remote add upstream https://github.com/whoever/whatever.git
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git rebase upstream/master
Example 2: git fetch upstream
These steps update the master branch.
1. Make sure you are on the appropriate branch.
git checkout master
2. Fetch content from upstream
git fetch upstream
3. Merge upstream with the appropriate local branch
git merge upstream/master
4. Get help on Resolve merge conflicts if these occur.
5. If you also maintain a GitHub repository, push changes to
GitHub’s (origin) master branch
git push origin master

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/[Original Owner Username]/[Original Repository].git
$ git fetch upstream
$ git checkout master
$ git merge upstream/master
$ git push
