Git Fork synchronization workflow¶

The Git fork synchronization workflow is a procedure used to update a local or remote fork repository with changes from the original upstream source. This ensures that a fork remains current with the main project's development history^[600-developer-tools-git-git-upstream.md].

Workflow Steps¶

The process relies on designating the original repository as the "upstream" remote and fetching changes from it, distinguishing it from the developer's own "origin" repository^[600-developer-tools-git-git-upstream.md].

1. Add Upstream Remote¶

First, the original repository URL must be added as a remote named upstream^[600-developer-tools-git-git-upstream.md].

git remote add upstream https://github.com/yudady/intellij-sdk-docs.git

2. Update Origin (Optional)¶

The workflow may involve verifying or updating the origin URL to point to the user's fork^[600-developer-tools-git-git-upstream.md].

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/yudady/intellij-sdk-docs.git

3. Verify Remotes¶

List all configured remotes to ensure the upstream and origin URLs are correct^[600-developer-tools-git-git-upstream.md].

git remote -v

4. Pull Changes¶

Finally, pull the updates from the upstream repository to synchronize the local branch^[600-developer-tools-git-git-upstream.md].

git pull upstream
