git update master from upstream code example
Example 1: update fork repository
## Add Original Repository
git remote add upstream https://github.com/OriginalOwner/OriginalProject.git
## Verify if Repository is added
git remote -v
## Fetch Updates from Original Repository
git fetch upstream
## Checkout to your master branch
git checkout master
## Get Updates from upstream repo
git merge upstream/master
## Push the commit over
git push origin master
Example 2: rebase my fork branch
git checkout master # Make sure you are in master
git remote add author original_repo_that_you_forked_from
# Note: This is in the format [email protected]:authors_name/repo_name.git
# Only needs definition once, future fetches then use it.
git fetch author
git status # make sure you are in the master branch for the following merge
git merge author/master # i.e. 'into' your master branch
git checkout your-branch
git rebase master # Now get those changes into your branch.
git push origin your_branch # You can also use `-f` if necessary and `--all`
