Personal Forks

What is a personal fork?

A personal fork is a copy of another repository with one major difference:

• you can use a pull request to suggest that some changes from your personal fork should be incorporated into the original repository the fork was created from

How do I sync my personal fork with the original repository it was created from?

Assuming you have a local clone of your personal fork and you are using the Skara CLI tools:

$ git sync

If you also want to sync your personal fork and your local clone of your personal fork and you are using the Skara CLI tools you can run:

$ git sync --fast-forward

If you do not have the Skara CLI tools installed and you have a local clone of your personal fork, you need to the following steps:

$ git remote add upstream <URL-FOR-ORIGINAL-OPENJDK-REPOSITORY>
$ # for each branch you want to sync
$ git checkout <BRANCH>
$ git pull upstream <BRANCH>
$ git push origin <BRANCH>
