Syncing a fork

Before you can sync your fork with an upstream repository, you must configure a remote that points to the upstream repository in Git.

1. Abre la TerminalTerminalGit Bash.

2. Change the current working directory to your local project.

3. Fetch the branches and their respective commits from the upstream repository. Commits to BRANCHNAME will be stored in the local branch upstream/BRANCHNAME.

   $ 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://nombre de host/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY
   >  * [new branch]      main     -> upstream/main

4. Check out your fork's local default branch - in this case, we use main.

   $ git checkout main
   > Switched to branch 'main'

5. Merge the changes from the upstream default branch - in this case, upstream/main - into your local default branch. This brings your fork's default branch into sync with the upstream repository, without losing your local changes.

   $ git merge upstream/main

   >  README.md                 |    7 ++++++
   >  2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
   >  delete mode 100644 README
   >  create mode 100644 README.md
