How to update a forked repo with git rebase

Raw

git-rebase-fork-repo.md

Git Rebase on top of forked repo

Add the remote (original repo that you forked) and call it upstream

git remote add upstream https://github.com/original-repo/name.git

Fetch all branches of remote upstream

git fetch upstream

Rewrite your main branch with upstream’s main using git rebase.

git rebase upstream/main

Push your updates to main. You may need to force the push with --force.

git push origin main --force
