Keeping your Fork in Sync with our Repository

Bitbucket itself has some utilities which can help you pull in the latest code when you are working in their web application (see https://blog.bitbucket.org/2013/02/04/syncing-and-merging-come-to-bitbucket/); however, when working locally you will likely want to use the command line to keep your branch in sync with the remote branch you are tracking.  How to do this is really outside the scope of this article; however, a simple example will be provided for your reference.

Example

For our purposes, let's assume we are working on the master branch.

1. Add the IGB Repository as a remote git repo with the alias "upstream"
   

   1. Code Block
      git remote add upstream git@bitbucket.org:lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser.git

2. Fetch and Merge Changes from upstream for the master branch

   1. Code Block
      git pull upstream master

   2. Alternatively, you could rebase

      1. Code Block
         git pull --rebase upstream master
