Remote Configuration

After you clone the repository the default remote is origin and it refers to your fork on Github. You must keep track of the changes made to the original repository by setting up another remote named upstream.

  1. Open terminal in your repository and type
    git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/OpenNoteScanner.git
  2. Type
    git remote add upstream https://github.com/ctodobom/OpenNoteScanner.git
    to add upstream.
  3. Type git remote -v and you should see 
   origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/OpenNoteScanner.git (fetch)
   origin  https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/OpenNoteScanner.git (push) 
   upstream        https://github.com/ctodobom/OpenNoteScanner.git (fetch)
   upstream        https://github.com/ctodobom/OpenNoteScanner.git (push)

To now update your local copy type
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git push
