How do I sync from upstream to my new branch instead of master?
You are supposed to sync master
first, then rebase your branch on top of the newly updated master
.
git pull upstream master
git checkout yourBranch
git rebase master
git push -f origin yourBranch
That supposes you have a remote named 'upstream
' referring to the url of the original repo (that you have forked)
See "Pull new updates from original Github repository into forked Github repository" for the "git remote add upstream
" command example.
