Git upstream remote¶

In the context of [[Git]], the upstream remote refers to the original repository from which a local project has been forked. It is commonly used to synchronize a local copy with changes made to the source project after the initial fork.^[600-developer__tools__git__git-upstream.md]

Configuration¶

To track the original repository, a remote named upstream must be added to the local Git configuration using the git remote add command^[600-developer__tools__git__git-upstream.md].

Additionally, the URL for the origin remote can be updated using the set-url command^[600-developer__tools__git__git-upstream.md].

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

Verification¶

You can verify the configured remote repositories by running the following command^[600-developer__tools__git__git-upstream.md]:

git remote -v

Synchronization¶

Once the upstream remote is configured, changes can be retrieved from the original repository using the git pull command^[600-developer__tools__git__git-upstream.md].

git pull upstream
