I usually fetch the upstream repository and merge it into my local repository,
|
|
|
|
|
then upload all the merges into the github repository. That works sometimes,
|
|
|
|
|
but it also fails sometimes with me having an extra commit with merges leaving
|
|
|
|
|
the git history different from the upstream...

```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout master # Make sure you always run the following commands from the master branch
|
|
|
|
|
$ git fetch --all
|
|
|
|
|
$ git pull --rebase upstream master
|
|
|
|
|
$ git push origin master
|
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> This will rebase the upstream changes on your local forked version so the
|
|
|
|
|
> master branch git history will look exactly the same at the end.
