Re: [platform-dev] Add Upstream REPO

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

This all appears to be completely general questions about git and nothing specific to do with the Eclipse Platform, so likely best asked elsewhere such as stackoverflow.

If you must ask questions (related to the Eclipse Platform) it's better to use discussions not the mailing list

https://github.com/eclipse-platform/.github/discussions

We all get too much email already...

Im following the directions in; https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/configuring-a-remote-repository-for-a-fork

QUESTION:  in number 3 below, WHAT would be the ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git
IS that the main trunk? As in; https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.git

ANY HELP GREATLY appreciated.  Im trying to update my fork to the trunk and not doing so hot..


1. Open Terminal.

2. List the current configured remote repository for your fork.

   $ git remote -v
   > origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
   > origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)
   

3. Specify a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork.

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git
   

4. Verify the new upstream repository you've specified for your fork.

   $ git remote -v
   > origin    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch)
   > origin    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push)
   > upstream  https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
   > upstream  https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (push)
