| Keeping Your Fork In Sync |
Keeping your fork in sync
Now that you have a fork of DEV's source code, there is work you will need to do to keep it updated.
Setup your upstream
Inside your DEV directory, add a remote to the official DEV repo:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to.git
Rebasing from upstream
Do this prior to creating each branch for a PR:
Make sure you are on the master branch:
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
If you aren't on master, finish your work and checkout the master branch:
git checkout master
Do a pull with rebase against upstream:
git pull --rebase upstream master
This will pull down all of the changes to the official master branch, without making an additional commit in your local repo.
(Optional) Force push your updated master branch to your GitHub fork
git push origin master --force
This will overwrite the master branch of your fork.
