从Git Fork的项目怎么更新？

I forked a GitHub repo thoughtbot/dotfiles to croaky/dotfiles and want to keep it updated.

Track

+

After I forked the repo to your Github account, I did this one time:

+

git clone git@github.com:croaky/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
git remote add upstream git@github.com:thoughtbot/dotfiles.git

 

Update

+

Each time I want to update, from my local master branch:

 

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

The goal of the rebase is to have a cleaner history if I have local changes or commits on the repo. It’s the difference between the the left and the right in the image below.

Commit rights upstream

If I also have commit rights to the upstream repo, I can create a local upstream branch and do work that will go upstream there.

git checkout -b upstream upstream/master
