Configuring a Remote for a Fork

If you make changes in the fork and would like to sync those changes with the upstream repository, you must first configure the remote. This will be required when you have created local branches and would like to make a pull request to your upstream branch.

1. In the Terminal (for Mac users) or command prompt (fow Windows and Linux users) type git remote -v to list the current configured remote repo for your fork.
2. git remote add upstream https://github.com/Esri/nearby-android.git to specify new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork. You can type git remote -v to verify the new upstream.

If there are changes made in the Original repository, you can sync the fork to keep it updated with upstream repository.

1. In the terminal, change the current working directory to your local project
2. Type git fetch upstream to fetch the commits from the upstream repository
3. git checkout master to checkout your fork's local master branch.
4. git merge upstream/master to sync your local master' branch with upstream/master`. Note: Your local changes will be retained and your fork's master branch will be in sync with the upstream repository.
