How to update forked repo with changes from main repository?

Wed, Aug 19, 2020 One-minute read

First of all you have to add new remote in your cloned forked repo

git remote add <new_remote_name> <your_repo_url>

Next, you have to fetch changes from original repo:

git fetch <new_remote_name>

And finally you can sychronize new changes using f.g. rebase:

git rebase <new_remote_name>/<branch_you_want_to_synchronize>
