GitHub fork
Featured snippet from the web
A fork is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project. Most commonly, forks are used to either propose changes to someone else's project or to use someone else's project as a starting point for your own idea.

Fork is a process to copy someone's or others repositories into our's or any account we have access to.

Example 3: fork and branch workflow

Step 1) Checkout new branch `git checkout -b new-branch`
Step 2) Make changes
Step 3) Add to git `git add .`
Step 4) Commit `git commit -m "Made changes!"` or `git commit -a`
Step 5) Push to your repo `git push origin new-branch`
Step 6) Make PR from pushed branch
Step 7) Merge into dev after it passes tests
* http://jenkins.corp-domain.local/job/AwesomeProject0/
* Click "Scan Repository Now"
Step 8) Make PR from dev into master
Step 9) Merge dev into master once tests pass
Step 10) Update local copy and remote fork
* git checkout master -> git pull upstream master -> git push origin master
* git checkout dev -> git pull upstream dev -> git push origin dev

3. `git fetch upstream`
4. Check out your fork’s local master branch by issuing `git checkout master`
5. Merge the changes from upstream/master into your local master branch by issuing `git merge upstream/master`
6. `git push`
