Pulling upstream changes from engineerkit/engineerkit into your private fork

While we always promote sharing with the open-source community, some companies might find it necessary to privately fork EngineerKit if they have some software engineering standards they want to keep to themselves. Here's a quick guide on how to do this with EngineerKit:

• First clone down your private repo
• To add a new remote to your local repo connected to the engineerkit/engineerkit repo, run

  git remote add public git@github.com:engineerkit/engineerkit.git
  

• To create a branch where you'll pull changes into, run

  git checkout -b add_awesome_new_topics
  

• To pull down changes into your new branch, run

  git pull public main
  

• Resolve any merge conflicts
• To push up your changes to your private fork, run

  git push
