Submitting pull request from forked repo to main repo
03 Oct 2020It’s HacktoberFest again! 👻 Here are some useful commands to merge your forked repo with upstream changes from the original repo (Also see GitHub Docs).
After forking, specify remote upstream repository:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git
You can then check the upstream locations via the command git remote -v
.
Before submitting a pull request, you have to make sure your branch contains all the commits from upstream. You can do so by:
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git merge upstream/master
🤓 Have fun coding! ⌨️
