git - How to keep the cloned project in sync with the original project after forking?

Question

For example, I forked a project two days ago, and today I cloned my forked project locally. I found that the original project has been updated yesterday. How can I keep the local project and the project I forked on github in sync with the original project?

Answer 1

Remotely pull update projects. First add the original package as remote to the local project:

git remote add upstream A_REPOSITORY_URL

Pull remote code

git pull upstream master

Finally commit to your own fork:

git push origin master

Answer 2

The correct answer upstairs is to usually update the master locally and then merge it into your own branch.
