Statement : While working on a project, we need to fork a GIT repo for the local development and there we make some changes in our local branch. Once the changes are done, we raise a PR against upstream repo. Most of the times, out local forked repo goes out of sync, so keep the repo updated we need some mechanism to do the same.
Solution :
- First, we need to define the upstream repo.
git remote add upstream https://github.com/repo.git
- Now, fetch the upstream repo.
git fetch upstream- Then, check out your forked
masterbranch.
git checkout master- Merge or rebase your local master branch with the upstream’s master.
git merge upstream/master
OR
git rebase upstream/master- Finally, push your changes into your master branch.
git push origin master --force
Hope it helps you to sync/update your forked repo with your upstream master. 🙂
