Hi Marc,
I used following command to update my git repo in GitHub.
git remote add upstream
git://github.com/thilinaa/phpmyadmin.git
git fetch upstream
But it did not work for my repo. Please give me some suggestions.
Hi Thilina,
Your command adds your fork of phpmyadmin as a remote repo. I
assume you want to get the latest changes from the phpmyadmin
official repo. So you first have to add the remote phpmyadmin repo:
git remote add upstream
git://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.git
For getting the latest updates from there, you should use:
git pull upstream [branch] (or git fetch as you mentioned).
And finally, if you want to push the changes to your fork, then you first
have to create your fork and add it as a remote repo:
git remote add origin
git://github.com/thilinaa/phpmyadmin.git
Then, you push with
git push origin [branch]
You can also find more details at [0] and [1].
