To sync changes you make in a fork with the original repository, you must configure a remote that points to the upstream repository in Git.

  1. Open TerminalTerminalGit Bash.

  2. List the current configured remote repository for your fork.

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

  3. Specify a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork.

    git remote add upstream https://hostname/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git

  4. Verify the new upstream repository you've specified for your fork.

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