Configuring a remote for a fork

• 给fork下来的仓库配置一个remote
• 主要使用git remote -v查看远程状态

git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)

• 添加一个将被同步给 fork 远程的上游仓库

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git

• 再次查看状态确认是否配置成功.

git remote -v
origin    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (push)

Syncing a fork

• 从上游仓库 fetch 分支和提交点，传送到本地，并会被存储在一个本地分支 upstream/master git fetch upstream

git fetch upstream
# remote: Counting objects: 75, done.
# remote: Compressing objects: 100% (53/53), done.
# remote: Total 62 (delta 27), reused 44 (delta 9)
# Unpacking objects: 100% (62/62), done.
# From https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY
#  * [new branch]      master     -> upstream/master

• 切换到本地主分支(如果不在的话)git checkout master

git checkout master                         //一般来说此步骤可以不需要
Switched to branch 'master'

• 把 upstream/master 分支合并到本地 master 上，这样就完成了同步，并且不会丢掉本地修改的内容。git merge upstream/master

git merge upstream/master

• 如果想更新到 GitHub 的 fork 上，直接git push就行了。

• 接下来的步骤就是直接从Github上直接pull request即可。
